We study the evolution of linear density perturbations in a large spherical void universe which accounts for the acceleration of the cosmic volume expansion without introducing dark energy. The density contrast of this void is not large within the light cone of an observer at the center of the void. Therefore, we describe the void structure as a perturbation with a dimensionless small parameter $kappa$ in a homogeneous and isotropic universe within the region observable for the observer. We introduce additional anisotropic perturbations with a dimensionless small parameter $epsilon$, whose evolution is of interest. Then, we solve perturbation equations up to order $kappa epsilon$ by applying second-order perturbation theory in the homogeneous and isotropic universe model. By this method, we can know the evolution of anisotropic perturbations affected by the void structure. We show that the growth rate of the anisotropic density perturbations in the large void universe is significantly different from that in the homogeneous and isotropic universe. This result suggests that the observation of the distribution of galaxies may give a strong constraint on the large void universe model.

We study the two-point correlation function of density perturbations in a spherically symmetric void universe model which does not employ the Copernican principle. First we solve perturbation equations in the inhomogeneous universe model and obtain d ensity fluctuations by using a method of non-linear perturbation theory which was adopted in our previous paper. From the obtained solutions, we calculate the two-point correlation function and show that it has a local anisotropy at the off-center position differently from those in homogeneous and isotropic universes. This anisotropy is caused by the tidal force in the off-center region of the spherical void. Since no tidal force exists in homogeneous and isotropic universes, we may test the inhomogeneous universe by observing statistical distortion of the two-point galaxy correlation function.
We study the behaviour of linear perturbations in multifield coupled quintessence models. Using gauge invariant linear cosmological perturbation theory we provide the full set of governing equations for this class of models, and solve the system nume rically. We apply the numerical code to generate growth functions for various examples, and compare these both to the standard $Lambda$CDM model and to current and future observational bounds. Finally, we examine the applicability of the small scale approximation, often used to calculate growth functions in quintessence models, in light of upcoming experiments such as SKA and Euclid. We find the deviation of the full equation results for large k modes from the approximation exceeds the experimental uncertainty for these future surveys. The numerical code, PYESSENCE, written in Python will be publicly available.

The aim of this thesis is to question some of the basic assumptions that go into building the $Lambda$CDM model of our universe. The assumptions we focus on are the initial conditions of the universe, the fundamental forces in the universe on large s cales and the approximations made in analysing cosmological data. For each of the assumptions we outline the theoretical understanding behind them, the current methods used to study them and how they can be improved and finally we also perform numerical analysis to quantify the novel solutions/methods we propose to extend the previous assumptions.
Spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide a unique tool for learning about the early phases of cosmic history, reaching deep into the primordial Universe. At redshifts $z<10^6$, thermalization processes become inefficient and existing limits from COBE/FIRAS imply that no more than $Delta rho/rho<6times 10^{-5}$ (95% c.l.) of energy could have been injected into the CMB. However, at higher redshifts, when thermalization is efficient, the constraint weakens and $Delta rho/rho simeq 0.01-0.1$ could in principle have occurred. Existing computations for the evolution of distortions commonly assume $Delta rho/rho ll 1$ and thus become inaccurate in this case. Similarly, relativistic temperature corrections become relevant for large energy release, but have previously not been modeled as carefully. Here we study the evolution of distortions and the thermalization process after single large energy release at $z>10^5$. We show that for large distortions the thermalization efficiency is significantly reduced and that the distortion visibility is sizeable to much earlier times. This tightens spectral distortions constraints on low-mass primordial black holes with masses $M_{rm PBH} < 6times 10^{11}$ g. Similarly, distortion limits on the amplitude of the small-scale curvature power spectrum at wavenumbers $k>10^4,{rm Mpc}^{-1}$ and short-lived decaying particles with lifetimes $t_X< 10^7$ s are tightened, however, these still require a more detailed time-dependent treatment. We also briefly discuss the constraints from measurements of the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom and light element abundances and how these complement spectral distortion limits.
In this paper we present four simple expressions for the relativistic first and second order fractional density perturbations for $Lambda$CDM cosmologies in different gauges: the Poisson, uniform curvature, total matter and synchronous gauges. A dist inctive feature of our approach is the use of a canonical set of quadratic differential expressions involving an arbitrary spatial function, the so-called comoving curvature perturbation, to describe the spatial dependence, which enables us to unify, simplify and extend previous seemingly disparate results. The simple structure of the expressions makes the evolution of the density perturbations completely transparent and clearly displays the effect of the cosmological constant on the dynamics, namely that it stabilizes the perturbations. We expect that the results will be useful in applications, for example, studying the effects of primordial non-Gaussianity on the large scale structure of the universe.
