Time for the good stuff.
Who here has studied cosmological perturbation theory?
I'm currently reading Cosmology (Weinberg), Modern Cosmology (Dodelson) and sometimes take a look into Lyth&Liddle, Mukhanov and the likes. As, in my opinion, all of them lack a good amount of graphs, I wonder if any of you can point to a good script which should cover the perturbed field equations, helicity decomposition (into scalar+tensor part, vector part will decay so is of no interest to cosmology), bardeen potentials, evolution of super/sub-horizon modes in the radiation dominated/matter dominated/ lambda-dominated era, a little gauge theory with emphasis on the Newtonian Gauge, adiabatic perturbations, and actually relate that to the BAO in the CMB and the matter power spectrum, WITH GRAPHS.
Also, I can try my best to give you a basic rundown if you have a specific question regarding cosmological stuff.
