Abstract

We compute the one-loop density power spectrum including Newtonian and relativistic contributions, as well as the primordial non-Gaussianity contributions from fNLf_{\rm NL} and gNLg_{\rm NL} in the local configuration. To this end we take solutions to the Einstein equations in the long-wavelength approximation and provide expressions for the matter density perturbation at second and third order. These solutions have shown to be complementary to the usual Newtonian cosmological perturbations. We confirm a sub-dominant effect from pure relativistic terms, manifested at scales dominated by cosmic variance, but find that a sizable effect of order one comes from gNLg_{\rm NL} values allowed by Planck-2018 constraints, manifested at scales probed by forthcoming galaxy surveys like DESI and Euclid. As a complement, we present the matter bispectrum at the tree-level including the mentioned contributions.
