Emphasis will be put in symmetries with physical consequences. Afte r introducing the general formalism\, it will be applied to different infl ationary scenarios and the evolution of perturbations during the late time universe. The course will include five 2-hour tutorials on the use of xAc t to compute perturbation equations\n\nContents of the course: \n\n\n Lec . 1: Basics of Cosmology (2h)\n Tutorial 1: Introduction to xAct\n Lec. 2: General theory of cosmological perturbations (2h)\n Tutorial 2: Computati on of perturbations\n Lec. 3: Cosmological perturbations during inflation (3h)\n Tutorial 3-4: Computation of the quadratic action for scalar pertur bations in single field inflationary models\n Lec. 4: Cosmological perturb ations in the late-time universe (3h)\n Tutorial 5: Computation of the den sity contrast evolution equation\n\n\nLECTURES to be held on: 27\, 29 Marc h and 1\, 3 and 5 April (at 10:30).
