Abstract

We present an emulator for the two-point clustering of biased tracers in real space. We construct this emulator using neural networks calibrated with more than 400400 cosmological models in a 8-dimensional cosmological parameter space that includes massive neutrinos an dynamical dark energy. The properties of biased tracers are described via a Lagrangian perturbative bias expansion which is advected to Eulerian space using the displacement field of numerical simulations. The cosmology-dependence is captured thanks to a cosmology-rescaling algorithm. We show that our emulator is capable of describing the power spectrum of galaxy formation simulations for a sample mimicking that of a typical Emission-Line survey at z1z \sim 1 with an accuracy of 12%1-2\% up to nonlinear scales k0.7hMpc1k \sim 0.7 h \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}.
