Description

We review "Lattice Cosmology" techniques as a method to solve non-linear dynamics of interactive fields in an expanding Universe. As a demonstration we apply these ideas to solve two different problems of early Universe cosmology: i) the non-linear dynamics of axion inflation when backreaction of the produced gauge field becomes relevant, and ii) gravitational wave emission from (global and local) cosmic string loop dynamics
