One-point remapping of Lagrangian perturbation theory in the mildly non-linear regime of cosmic structure formation

Understand

On the smallest scales, three-dimensional large-scale structure surveys contain a wealth of cosmological information which cannot be trivially extracted due to the non-linear dynamical evolution of the density field.

• Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT) is widely applied to the generation of mock halo catalogs and data analysis.
• In this work, we compare topological features of the cosmic web such as voids, sheets, filaments and clusters, in the density fields predicted by LPT and full numerical simulation of gravitational large-scale structure formation.
• We propose a method designed to improve the correspondence between these density fields, in the mildly non-linear regime.
