We give a concise, self-contained introduction to perturbation theory in cosmology at linear and second order, striking a balance between mathematical rigour and usability. In particular we discuss gauge issues and the active and passive approach to calculating gauge transformations. We also construct gauge-invariant variables, including the second order tensor perturbation on uniform curvature hypersurfaces.

A brief introduction to chiral perturbation theory, the effective field theory of quantum chromodynamics at low energies, is given.
We give a concise introduction to (discrete) algebras arising from etale groupoids, (aka Steinberg algebras) and describe their close relationship with groupoid C*-algebras. Their connection to partial group rings via inverse semigroups also explored.

This article serves as a brief introduction to the Shannon information theory. Concepts of information, Shannon entropy and channel capacity are mainly covered. All these concepts are developed in a totally combinatorial flavor. Some issues usually n ot addressed in the literature are discussed here as well. In particular, we show that it seems we can define channel capacity differently which allows us to potentially transmit more messages in a fixed sufficient long time duration. However, for a channel carrying a finite number of letters, the channel capacity unfortunately remains the same as the Shannon limit.

These lecture notes contain a brief practical introduction to doing density functional theory calculations for crystals using the open source Quantum Espresso software. The level is aimed at graduate students who are studying condensed matter or soli d state physics, either theoretical or experimental.
We develop a new perturbation theory (PT) treatment that can describe gravitational dynamics of large-scale structure after shell-crossing in the one-dimensional cosmological case. Starting with cold initial conditions, the motion of matter distribut ion follows at early stages the single-stream regime, which can, in one dimension, be described exactly by the first-order Lagrangian perturbation, i.e. the Zeldovich solution. However, the single-stream flow no longer holds after shell-crossing and a proper account of the multi-stream flow is essential for post-collapse dynamics. In this paper, extending previous work by Colombi (2015, MNRAS 446, 2902), we present a perturbative description for the multi-stream flow after shell-crossing in a cosmological setup. In addition, we introduce an adaptive smoothing scheme to deal with the bulk properties of phase-space structures. The filtering scales in this scheme are linked to the next-crossing time in the post-collapse region, estimated from our PT calculations. Our PT treatment combined with adaptive smoothing is illustrated in several cases. Predictions are compared to simulations and we find that post-collapse PT with adaptive smoothing reproduces the power spectrum and phase-space structures remarkably well even at small scales, where Zeldovich solution substantially deviates from simulations.
