This PhD thesis presents a study of the effect and generation of non-adiabatic perturbations in Cosmology. We study adiabatic (curvature) and entropy (isocurvature) perturbations produced during a period of cosmological inflation that is…
We apply the dynamical systems tools to study the asymptotic properties of a cosmological model based on a non-linear modification of General Relativity in which the standard Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by one of Dirac-Born-Infeld…
The results of a recent paper [0808.2909] are generalized. A more detailed proof is presented that under essentially all conditions, the non-linear classical equations governing matter and gravitation in cosmology have ``adiabatic''…
The spectrum of adiabatic density perturbation generated during inflation is studied in the case the time derivative of an inflation-driving scalar field (inflaton) vanishes at some time during inflation. It is shown that the nondecaying…

We simulate the dynamics of paramagnetic colloidal particles that are placed above a magnetic hexagonal pattern and exposed to an external field periodically changing its direction along a control loop. The conformation of three colloidal…
Adiabatic quantum computation employs a slow change of a time-dependent control function (or functions) to interpolate between an initial and final Hamiltonian, which helps to keep the system in the instantaneous ground state. When the…
For most stochastic dynamical systems, variables which are tightly regulated tend to respond slowly to external changes. This idea is often discussed for applicable systems, within a linear response regime, through the Fluctuation…
Adiabatic invariants are introduced and shown to provide an approximate second integral of motion for the non-integrable Dicke model, in the energy region where the system exhibits a regular dynamics. This low-energy region is always…
Both orbital and rotational dynamics employ the method of variation of parameters. We express, in a non-perturbed setting, the coordinates (Cartesian, in the orbital case, or Eulerian in the rotation case) via the time and six adjustable…
We consider instabilities of a single mode with finite wavenumber in inversion symmetric spatially one dimensional systems, where the character of the bifurcation changes from sub- to supercritical behaviour. Starting from a general…
The behaviour of a space-modulated, so-called "argumental" oscillator is studied, which is represented by a model having an even-parity space-modulating function. Analytic expressions of a stability criterion and of discrete energy levels…
This paper explores a mathematical technique for deriving dynamical invariants (i.e. constants of motion) in time-dependent gravitational potentials. The method relies on the construction of a canonical transformation that removes the…
