3 Estimation of the Bispectrum Efficient algorithm for computing the Bispectrum Sefusatti E., 2005, PhD thesis, New York University, New York, USA (no public access) Baldauf et al. 205 (arxiv: ) Based on Fourier Transforms and not in previous brute force approaches.

4 Definition of the Bispectrum Probability of finding 3 galaxies separated by r, s and t: P 3 (r, s, t) = [ + ξ 2 (r) + ξ 2 (s) + ξ 2 (t) + ζ(r, s, t)]dv dv 2 dv 3 The bispectrum is defined as the FT of ζ, B(k, k 2 ) dr ds ζ(r, s)e ir k e is k 2 Since, ζ(r, s, t) δ(x + r)δ(x + t)δ(x) x B(k, k 2, k 3 ) = δ(k )δ(k 2 )δ(k 3 ) δ D (k + k 2 + k 3 )

5 Algorithm Proposed estimator, ˆB 23 = k3 f dq δ(q ) dq 2 δ(q 2 ) V 23 S S 2 S 3 dq 3 δ(q 3 )δ D (q + q 2 + q 3 ), CosKASI-ICG-NAOC-YITP Workshop, 8th aaaa September 206 S i stands for S(k i k), which is the k-region contained by k i k/2 k k i + k/2, given a k-bin, k

6 Algorithm Proposed estimator, ˆB 23 = k3 f dq δ(q ) dq 2 δ(q 2 ) V 23 S S 2 S 3 dq 3 δ(q 3 )δ D (q + q 2 + q 3 ), CosKASI-ICG-NAOC-YITP Workshop, 8th aaaa September 206 V 23 is the associated volume ( total number of triangles ), V 23 = k3 f dq dq 2 V 23 S S 2 S 3 dq 3 δ D (q + q 2 + q 3 ),

7 Algorithm We can write the Dirac delta in its exponential form, δ D (q, q 2, q 3 ) dr e ir q e ir q 2 e ir q 3 and re-write the estimator as, ˆB 23 dq δ(q ) dq 2 δ(q 2 ) S S 2 dq 3 δ(q 3 ) dr e ir q e ir q 2 e ir q 3 S 3 }{{} δ D (q +q 2 +q 3 ) Then, the estimator is partly separable, ˆB 23 dr dq δ(q )e ir q... {q 2 }... {q 3 } S } {{} FT-like of δ(q )

8 Algorithm In the end the algorithm looks like, ˆB 23 dr D S (r)d S2 (r)d S3 (r) where, D Sj (r) dq j δ(q j )e iq j r. S j D Sj can be though as the Fourier Transform of F(q) where { δ(q) if q S j F(q) = 0 otherwise The main complication when coding is to find an efficient way to select the elements of δ(q i ) S i.

9 Algorithm Features, Fast. 850 triangles in 2 hours using 20 processors. Speed can be tuned by increasing the size of k-bins (i.e. reducing the number of total triangles). Easy-to-code. It relies on FT libraries such as fftw, which are optimised and widely used. General. No limitation on scales or survey geometry other than the power spectrum estimator

10 Algorithm Recyclable. No need to recompute the 3 D new terms for each new triangle, as many triangles share one or two sides. Higher orders. The algorithm can be trivially generalised to higher order functions, such as the Trispectrum. Publicity. Might be a release of a public code in the near(?) future.

11 Modelling the Bispectrum in real space Different models (full shape), Perturbation Theory: SPT, RPT, EFT,... Phenomenological: Halo model PT, Benchmark model, 2-halo boost, Fitting formulae Having a working model for the bispectrum is much more complicated than the power spectrum..., but for BAO-feature only may not be that difficult.

12 Modelling the Bispectrum in real space Tree level approach based on Perturbation Theory, B(k, k 2 ) = 2P lin (k )P lin (k 2 )F 2 (k, k 2 ) + cyc., where F 2 is the two-point kernel of the density of the form, F 2 (k i, k j ) = ( 2 cos(α ki ij) + k ) j + 2 k j k i 7 cos2 (α ij ) This kernel has a weak dependence with the cosmological parameters but may be sensible to modifications of GR. Here we follow the empirical approach of taken the tree level formula and modify the kernels (Scoccimarro & Couchman 200, HG-M et al. 202): F 2 F eff 2 P lin P nl

13 Modelling the Bispectrum in real space F eff 2 (k i, k j ) = 5 7 a(n i, k i, a F )a(n j, k j, a F ) + ( 2 cos(α ki ij) + k ) j b(n i, k i, a F )b(n j, k j, a F ) k j k i cos2 (α ij )c(n i, k i, a F )c(n j, k j, a F ) where a, b, c are empirical functions that depend on k i, on the local slope of the power spectrum, n, and on a set of 9 free parameters, a F {a F,..., af 9 } to be fitted from N-body simulations.

24 Modelling the Bispectrum in redshift space Inspired by the real space modification, we perform a similar transformation to G 2 (HG-M et al. 204), G eff 2 (k i, k j ) = 3 7 a(n i, k i, a G )a(n j, k j, a G ) + ( 2 cos(α ki ij) + k ) j b(n i, k i, a G )b(n j, k j, a G ) k j k i cos2 (α ij )c(n i, k i, a G )c(n j, k j, a G ) where a G = {a G,..., ag 9 } to be fitted from N-body simulations. Z 2 Z eff 2 We will work with the bispectrum monopole (angle averaged), B (0) (k, k 2 ) = dµ dµ 2 B s (k, k 2 )

30 Modelling the Bispectrum in redshift space Other phenomenological approaches for redshift space bispectrum based on halo model (Smith, Sheth & Scoccimarro 2008 )

31 Other issues There are other issues concerning the bispectrum modelling, Galaxy Bias. Non-linear and non-local bias model seems to be needed (McDonald & Roy 09). How to model the survey selection function? Wilson et al. 206 seems the best approach but needs to be extended to the bispectrum. Is Poisson shot noise prediction enough? How the bispectrum shot noise is modified by halo exclusion? Bispectrum BAO. How much information is it there? How much does the reconstruction solve this problem? After reconstruction is it worth to look and use bispectrum BAO?...
