Resumming Cosmological Perturbations via the Lagrangian Picture: One-loop Results in Real Space and in Redshift Space

Matsubara, Takahiko

Understand

We develop a new approach to study the nonlinear evolution in the large-scale structure of the Universe both in real space and in redshift space, extending the standard perturbation theory of gravitational instability.

  • Infinite series of terms in standard Eulerian perturbation theory are resummed as a result of our starting from a Lagrangian description of perturbations.
  • Delicate nonlinear effects on scales of the baryon acoustic oscillations are more accurately described by our method than the standard one.
  • Our approach differs from other resummation techniques recently proposed, such as the renormalized perturbation theory, etc., in that we use simple techniques and thus resulting equations are undemanding to evaluate, and in that our approach is capable of quantifying the nonlinear effects in redshift space.
