ABSTRACT
Kinetic field theory (KFT) has been developed in recent years to study structure formation in ensembles of classical particles in and out of equilibrium. In a straightforward manner, KFT can be specialised to cosmology, where it allows to calculate highly non-linear power spectra of cosmic density fluctuations with analytic means. I will summarize the main concepts of KFT and its cosmological applications and show how the flexibility of KFT can be used to study structure formation with large varieties of dark-matter models or generalised theories of gravity.
