2 Contents Classic method to measure the clustering anisotropies of galaxies is renewed with a great interest to clarify the nature of dark energy and to test theory of gravity. Accurate theoretical models for power spectrum have made a rapid progress, and are now available, taking fully account of the effect of clustering anisotropies. Large N-body simulations reveal a new feature of clustering anisotropies in halo catalogs, which sensitively depends on clustering bias. Only the improved model can account for this. 2

3 Introduction Lambda CDM model 4.6% 73% Standard cosmological model 23% characterized by 6 parameters today Flat universe filled with the unknowns energy contents SN Ia obs. Possible solution? { Late-time cosmic acceleration (Perlmutter et al. 99; Riess et al. 98) Dark energy: dynamical scalar field or cosmological const. Modified gravity: IR modification to general relativity 3

4 beyond Lambda CDM model Q Dark energy or Modified gravity? Nature of cosmic acceleration Test of gravity on cosmological scales Key Precision measurements of { Cosmic expansion Growth of structure Need independent and complementary probes other than CMB and SN Ia 4

5 Large-scale structure (LSS) Fundamental observable: Galaxy clustering patterns Note: weak lensing can also probe LSS 5

6 Cosmological information in LSS All information is encoded in statistical quantities: Power spectrum P(k), or correlation function ξ(r) Shape & amplitude Historical record of the primordial Universe (Initial condition & late-time evolution) Additional information coming from observational effect : { Alcock-Paczynski effect Redshift distortion effect With BAOs as standard ruler, Galaxy clustering offers unique opportunity measurements of these are now top priority in future surveys 6

7 Alcock-Paczynski (A-P) effect Alcock & Paczynski ( 79) Anisotropies caused by apparent mismatch of underlying cosmological models ( θ, z) observer r = c z/h(z) r = DA (z) θ Using BAO as standard ruler, H(z) & DA(z) can be measured simultaneously e.g., Seo & Eisenstein ( 03); Hu & Haiman ( 03); Blake & Glazebrook ( 03); Shoji et al.( 09) 7

8 Redshift distortion (RD) effect Anisotropies caused by peculiar velocity of galaxies through redshift measurements Large-scales peculiar velocity observer v z magnitude of distortion f(z) redshift space s = r + real space ( v z ) z ; a H(z) growth-rate parameter d ln D+ f (z) {Ωm (z)}γ d ln a e.g., γ 0.55 (GR), 0.68 (DGP) Linder ( 05) Measurement of f(z) offers a test of gravity on cosmological scales e.g., Linder ( 08); Guzzo et al. ( 08);Yamamoto et al. ( 08); Song & Dore ( 09); Percival & White ( 09); White, Song & Percival ( 09); Song & Percival ( 09); Blake et al. ( 11) 8

9 Revival of classic method Measuring clustering anisotropies is not a new method A-P effect Matsubara & Suto ( 96) Ballinger, Peacock & Heavens ( 96) Use global shape of power spectrum/correlation function to determine Ω Λ RD effect Hamilton ( 92) Adopt GR valid over cosmological scales to determine Ω m (learning from the past) 9

10 Complementarity Method Observable Measure SN Ia Weak lensing Clusters Light curves of distant SNe Shear field from galaxy images Number density of clusters g(z): growth factor DL(z) DA(z), g(z) DA(z), H(z), g(z) Galaxy clustering Spatial clustering of galaxies DA(z), H(z), f(z) Advantage: galaxy clustering provides a way to separately measure DA, H, & f 10

14 Theoretical challenges For fruitful science from high-precision measurements, Accurate theoretical template for power spectrum/correlation function Reducing the systematics is a big issue: is crucial and highly demanding Non-linear gravitational evolution Non-linear redshift distortions Galaxy biasing Small, but non-negligible at ~1% precision 14

15 Forward modeling approach First-principle calculations of P(k) & ξ(r) based on perturbation theory (PT) of LSS Development of improved treatment of PT Renormalized PT Crocce & Scoccimarro ( 06ab, 08) Closure theory Lagrangian resummation theory AT & Hiramatsu ( 08), AT, Nishimichi, Saito & Hiramatsu ( 09) Matsubara ( 08), Okamura, AT & Matsubara ( 11) Regularized PT Bernardeau, Crocce & Scoccimarro ( 08), Bernardeau, AT, Crocce & Scoccimarro (in prep.) For BAO scales of our interest (k<0.2~ <z<1.5), non-linear gravitational evolution is now under control 15
