We study the non-linear evolution of the one-dimensional self-gravitat
ing system in the expanding universe. In particular, we gave an explic
it expression for the perturbative solutions, which reproduce the Zeld
ovich exact solution properly. Then we found an infinite number of con
served quantities, which indicate the existence of a hidden symmetry.
Those would strongly constrain the power transfer of the density field
. The above symmetry might be useful for explaining the scaling behavi
or at the epoch of the singularity formation.
