We compute the one-loop density power spectrum including Newtonian and relativistic contributions, as well as the primordial non-Gaussianity contributions from f NL and g NL in the local configuration. To this end we take solutions to the Einstein equations in the long-wavelength approximation and provide expressions for the matter density perturbation at second and third order. These solutions have shown to be complementary to the usual Newtonian cosmological perturbations. We confirm a sub-dominant effect from pure relativistic terms, manifested at scales dominated by cosmic variance, but find that a sizable effect of order one comes from g NL values allowed by Planck-2018 constraints, manifested at scales probed by forthcoming galaxy surveys like DESI and Euclid. As a complement, we present the matter bispectrum at the tree-level including the mentioned contributions.
We compute the real space galaxy power spectrum, including the leading order effects of General Relativity and primordial non-Gaussianity from the f
NL and g
NL parameters. Such contributions come from the one-loop matter power spectrum terms dominant at large scales, and from the factors of the non-linear bias parameter b
NL (akin to the Newtonian b
ϕ). We assess the detectability of these contributions in Stage-IV surveys. In particular, we note that specific values of the bias parameter may erase the primordial and relativistic contributions to the configuration space power spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
