We derive the exact third-order analytic solution of the matter density fluctuation in the proper-time hypersurface in a $Lambda$CDM universe, accounting for the explicit time-dependence and clarifying the relation to the initial condition. Furthermore, we compare our analytic solution to the previous calculation in the comoving gauge, and to the standard Newtonian perturbation theory by providing Fourier kernels for the relativistic effects. Our results provide an essential ingredient for a complete description of galaxy bias in the relativistic context.

We present a complete set of exact and fully non-linear equations describing all three types of cosmological perturbations -- scalar, vector and tensor perturbations. We derive the equations in a thoroughly gauge-ready manner, so that any spatial and temporal gauge conditions can be employed. The equations are completely general without any physical restriction except that we assume a flat homogeneous and isotropic universe as a background. We also comment briefly on the application of our formulation to the non-expanding Minkowski background.
We examine in this paper the possibility of finding exact solutions for Teleparallel Gravity (TG) of the type of spherically symmetric Lema^i tre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) dust models. We apply to the LTB metric, as obtained from the Schwarzschild solution in General Relativity, the formalism of Teleparallel Gravity in its extension to $f(T,B)$ models. An exact LTB solution is obtained that is compatible with a specific $f(T,B)$ model that seems to be appropriate to fit observations when applied to standard spatially flat Robertson-Walker geometry.
An exact solution for the spatially flat scale-invariant Cosmology, recently proposed by Maeder (2017) is deduced. No deviation from the numerical solution was detected. The exact solution yields transparency for the dynamical equations and faster cosmological constraints may be performed.
A number of scalar field models proposed as alternatives to the standard inflationary scenario involve contracting phases which precede the universes present phase of expansion. An important question concerning such models is whether there are effects which could potentially distinguish them from purely expanding cosmologies. Vector perturbations have recently been considered in this context. At first order such perturbations are not supported by a scalar field. In this paper, therefore, we consider second order vector perturbations. We show that such perturbations are generated by first order scalar mode-mode couplings, and give an explicit expression for them. We compare the magnitude of vector perturbations produced in collapsing models with the corresponding amplitudes produced during inflation, using a number of suitable power-law solutions to model the inflationary and collapsing scenarios. We conclude that the ratios of the magnitudes of these perturbations depend on the details of the collapsing scenario as well as on how the hot big bang is recovered, but for certain cases could be large, growing with the duration of the collapse.
In this thesis, we discuss several instances in which non-linear behaviour affects cosmological evolution in the early Universe. We begin by reviewing the standard cosmological model and the tools used to understand it theoretically and to compute its observational consequences. This includes a detailed exposition of cosmological perturbation theory and the theory of inflation. We then describe the results in this thesis, starting with the non-linear evolution of the curvature perturbation in the presence of vector and tensor fluctuations, in which we identify the version of that variable that is conserved in the most general situation. Next, we use second order perturbation theory to describe the most general initial conditions for the evolution of scalar perturbations at second order in the standard cosmological model. We compute approximate solutions valid in the initial stages of the evolution, which can be used to initialize second order Boltzmann codes, and to compute many observables taking isocurvature modes into account. We then move on to the study of the inflationary Universe. We start by analysing a new way to compute the consequences of a sudden transition in the evolution of a scalar during inflation. We use the formalism of quantum quenches to compute the effect of those transitions on the spectral index of perturbations. Finally, we detail the results of the exploration of a multi-field model of inflation with a non-minimal coupling to gravity. We study popular attractor models in this regime in both the metric and the Palatini formulations of gravity and find all results for both the power spectrum and bispectrum of fluctuations to closely resemble those of the single-field case. In all systems under study we discuss the effects of non-linear dynamics and their importance for the resolution of problems in cosmology.
