7 Standard Perturbation Theory (SPT) ˆ + Ò [(1 + ) v] =0, Fluid Equations: ˆ v + H v + v Ò v + Ò =0 = 3 2 H2 m q n Perturbative solution: n ( k) k F n F n n linear( q) q 1

8 SPT 2-Point Function P (k) tree level = P lin P(k) [Mpc/h] tree-level k [h/mpc] Where is the BAO in Fourier space? The BAO signal is ~5% oscillation with freq. 1/150 Mpc

9 SPT 2-Point Function P lin P 22 P 13 P lin P (k) 1 loop = P lin P lin F 2 F 2 P lin F 3 P lin P(k) [Mpc/h] loop tree-level k [h/mpc] Perturbation Theory should recover the BAO, so the more loops the better, right?

10 SPT 2-Point Function SPT completely fails around the BAO scale r 2 ξ [Mpc/h] tree-level r [Mpc/h]

11 SPT 2-Point Function SPT completely fails around the BAO scale r 2 ξ [Mpc/h] loop tree-level r [Mpc/h]

12 SPT 2-Point Function SPT completely fails around the BAO scale r 2 ξ [Mpc/h] loop 1-loop tree-level r [Mpc/h]

13 Why SPT fails? The wiggly component (BAO) receive large infrared (IR-enhanced) contribution from loop integrals P w 1 loop(k) k 2 P w lin(k) = P w lin(k) s<. 1 BAO.p.k d3 p P lin (p) (2fi) 3 p 2

14 Why SPT fails? The wiggly component (BAO) receive large infrared (IR-enhanced) contribution from loop integrals P w 1 loop(k) k 2 P w lin(k) = P w lin(k) s<. 1 BAO.p.k d3 p P lin (p) (2fi) 3 p 2 and s< 1 Bad for doing PT! Better not to expand

15 To fix just resum Lagrangian PT (à la Zeldovich) short modes should not be resummed, calculations are more cumbersome, especially EFT, Fourier space is numerically more challenging IR-resummation (à la EPT) Senatore, Zaldarriaga 15 numerically more demanding Consistency relations (using EP) Baldauf et. al 15 split into smooth and wiggly components, NLO corrections Time-Sliced PT (à la QFT) Blas et al. 15 need to split into smooth and wiggly components manually check the IR-enhanced contribution resummation relies on separation of scales calculations are more cumbersome, especially NLO and UV

16 IR-resummation The idea is to resum IR displacement modes K 0 (k, q) exp k ik j A IR ij (q)+ i 6 k ik j k k B IR ijk(q) 6

29 IR-resummation for the 3-PF Similar to the resummation of the 2PF For example at tree-level IR+ tree ( x 1, x 2, x 3 )= d 6 r E tree(r)g(x, x r) Gaussian-like kernel induced by long displacement modes Scoccimarro, Trevisan: in preparation

31 Conclusions A simpler approx. for the IR-resummation Although IR-enhanced, IR mode-coupling leads to <1% in the 2-PF IR-resummation fixes also the 3-PF Tree-level and 1-loop already agree quite well Analysis of 2+3 PF may be an alternative to reconstruction
