Description

We introduce 'Lattice Cosmology’ as an emergent field encompassing a set of techniques capable of solving the non-linear dynamics of interactive fields in an expanding Universe. As a demonstration of the power of these techniques, we solve two very different problems of early Universe cosmology: i) the non-linear dynamics of axion inflation, and ii) the dynamics and gravitational wave emission of cosmic string loops.
