The Halo Mass Function from Excursion Set Theory with a Non-Gaussian Trispectrum
A sizeable level of non-Gaussianity in the primordial cosmological perturbations may be induced by a large trispectrum, i.e. by a large connected four-point correlation function. We compute the effect of a primordial non-Gaussian trispectrum on the halo mass function, within excursion set theory. We use the formalism that we have developed in a previous series of papers and which allows us to t...
متن کاملN-body simulations with generic non-Gaussian initial conditions I: Power Spectrum and halo mass function
We address the issue of setting up generic non-Gaussian initial conditions for N-body simulations. We consider inflationary-motivated primordial nonGaussianity where the perturbations in the Bardeen potential are given by a dominant Gaussian part plus a non-Gaussian part specified by its bispectrum. The approach we explore here is suitable for any bispectrum, i.e. it does not have to be of the ...
متن کاملExcursion Probabilities of Non-Linear Systems
This paper suggests a procedure for estimating excursion probabilities for linear and non-linear systems subjected to Gaussian excitation processes. In this paper, the focus is on non-linear systems which might also have stochastic properties. The approach is based on the so called “averaged excursion probability flow” which allows for a simple solution for the interaction in excursion problems...
متن کاملCosmological Perturbation Theory and the Spherical Collapse model : Part II . Non - Gaussian initial conditions
In Part I of this series, we introduced the Spherical Collapse (SC) approximation in Lagrangian space as a way of estimating the cumulants ξJ of density fluctuations in cosmological Perturbation Theory (PT). Within this approximation, the dynamics is decoupled from the statistics of the initial conditions, so we are able to present here the cumulants for generic Non-Gaussian initial conditions,...
