Effects of Scale-Dependent Non-Gaussianity on Cosmological Structures
The detection of primordial non-Gaussianity could provide a powerful means to test various inflationary scenarios. Although scale-invariant non-Gaussianity (often described by the fNL formalism) is currently best constrained by the CMB, single-field models with changing sound speed can have strongly scale-dependent non-Gaussianity. Such models could evade the CMB constraints but still have impo...
متن کاملStrongly scale-dependent non-Gaussianity
Cosmological inflation [1] has become the dominant paradigm to understand the initial conditions for the CMB anisotropies and large-scale structure (LSS) formation. This picture has recently received further spectacular confirmation by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 5 yr set of data [2]. Present and future [3] experiments may be sensitive to the nonlinearities of the cosmological pert...
متن کاملNon-gaussianity vs. non-linearity of cosmological perturbations
Following the discovery of the cosmic microwave background, the hot big-bang model has become the standard cosmological model. In this theory, small primordial fluctuations are subsequently amplified by gravity to form the large-scale structure seen today. Different theories for unified models of particle physics, lead to different predictions for the statistical properties of the primordial fl...
متن کاملLarge-scale velocities and primordial non-Gaussianity
We study the peculiar velocities of density peaks in the presence of primordial non-Gaussianity. Rare, high-density peaks in the initial density field can be identified with tracers such as galaxies and clusters in the evolved matter distribution. The distribution of relative velocities of peaks is derived in the large-scale limit using two different approaches based on a local biasing scheme. ...
متن کاملConstraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity from large scale structure
Recent work has shown that the local non-Gaussianity parameter fNL induces a scale dependent bias, whose amplitude is growing with scale. Here we first rederive this result within the context of the peak–background split formalism and show that it only depends on the assumption of universality of the mass function, assuming that the halo bias only depends on the mass. We then use the extended P...
