We examine various integration schemes for the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations. Contrary to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger's equation, this set of equations is non-linear, due to the dependence of the Hamiltonian on the electronic…

We construct the scalar and graviton propagator in quasi de Sitter space up to first order in the slow roll parameter $\epsilon\equiv -\dot{H}/H^2$. After a rescaling, the propagators are similar to those in de Sitter space with an…

When light is passing through a rotating medium the optical polarisation is rotated. Recently it has been reasoned that this rotation applies also to the transmitted image (Padgett et al. 2006). We examine these two phenomena by extending…
