The use of Eulerian 'standard perturbation theory' to describe mass assembly in the early universe has traditionally been limited to modes with k $\lesssim$ 0.1 h/Mpc at z = 0. At larger k the SPT power spectrum deviates from measurements…

Loop corrections to the power spectrum are frequently computed using approximate non-linear kernels adopted from an Einstein de-Sitter (EdS) cosmology. We present an algorithm that allows us to take the full time- and scale-dependence of…

Semi-analytical methods, based on Eulerian perturbation theory, are a promising tool to follow the time evolution of cosmological perturbations at small redshifts and at mildly nonlinear scales. All these schemes are based on two…

We present a new approach to computing the matter density power spectrum, from large linear scales to small highly nonlinear scales. Instead of explicitly computing a partial series of high-order diagrams, as in perturbative resummation…
