Studies of a class of infinite one dimensional self-gravitating systems have highlighted that, on the one hand, the spatial clustering which develops may have scale invariant (fractal) properties, and, on the other, that they display…

We measure the covariance of the non-linear matter power spectrum from N-body simulations using two methods. In the first case, the covariance of power is estimated from the scatter over many random realizations of the density field. In the…

Evolution of power spectrum is studied for non-Gaussian models of structure formation. We generalize the dark-matter-approach to these models and find that the evolved spectrum at weakly nonlinear regime is mainly determined by a simple…

The signal strength of primordial gravitational waves experiencing an epoch of early scalar domination is reduced with respect to radiation domination. In this paper, we demonstrate that the specific pattern of this reduction is sensitive…

Krylov complexity measures the spread of an evolved state in a natural basis, induced by the generator of the dynamics and the initial state. Here, we study the spread in Hilbert space of the state of an Ising chain subject to a…
