The Three-Point Correlation Function in Cosmology
With the advent of high-quality surveys in cosmology the full three-point correlation function will be a valuable statistic for describing structure formation models. It contains information on cosmological parameters and detailed halo properties that cannot be extracted from the two-point correlation function. We use the halo clustering model to analytically calculate the three-point correlati...
متن کاملThe Angular Three-Point Correlation Function in the Quasilinear Regime
We calculate the normalized angular three-point correlation function (3PCF), q, as well as the normalized angular skewness, s3, assuming the small-angle approximation, for a biased mass distribution in flat and open cold-dark-matter (CDM) models with Gaussian initial conditions. The leading-order perturbative results incorporate the explicit dependence on the cosmological parameters, the shape ...
متن کاملThree-point correlation function in the quasilinear regime
Using the second-order Eulerian perturbation theory (SEPT), we study the three-point correlation function in the quasilinear regime for the SCDM, LCDM and MDM models, with the interesting result that these three models have distinctive three-point correlation functions. We test this SEPT prediction using a large set of high-resolution N-body simulations. The N-body results show that the SEPT pr...
متن کاملThe Projected Three-point Correlation Function: Theory and Observations
We report results for the angular three-point galaxy correlation function in the APM survey and compare them with theoretical expectations. For the first time, these measurements extend to sufficiently large scales to probe the weakly non-linear regime. On large scales, the results are in good agreement with the predictions of non-linear cosmological perturbation theory, for a model with initia...
متن کاملTesting for Gaussianity Through the Three Point Temperature Correlation Function
One of the crucial aspects of density perturbations that are produced by the standard inflation scenario is that they are Gaussian where seeds produced by topological defects tend to be non-Gaussian. The three point correlation function of the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CBR) provides a sensitive test of this aspect of the primordial density field. In th...
