Cosmic shear is a powerful probe of cosmological distances, matter abundance and clustering in the low-redshift Universe. Cosmological parameter extraction from cosmic shear data is limited by our understanding of baryonic astrophysics,…

We develop a formalism to analytically describe the clustering of matter in the mildly non-linear regime in the presence of massive neutrinos. Neutrinos, whose free streaming wavenumber ($k_{\rm fs}$) is typically longer than the non-linear…

We develop a new way to analytically calculate loop integrals in the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale-Structure. Previous available methods show severe limitations beyond the one-loop power spectrum due to analytical challenges and…

Standard perturbation theory (SPT) for large-scale matter inhomogeneities is unsatisfactory for at least three reasons: there is no clear expansion parameter since the density contrast is not small on all scales; it does not fully account…

The bispectrum is the leading non-Gaussian statistic in large-scale structure, carrying valuable information on cosmology that is complementary to the power spectrum. To access this information, we need to model the bispectrum in the weakly…

A logarithm transformation over the matter overdensity field $\delta$ brings information from the bispectrum and higher-order n-point functions to the power spectrum. We calculate the power spectrum for the log-transformed field $A$ at one,…

The large scale structures of the universe will likely be the next leading source of cosmological information. It is therefore crucial to understand their behavior. The Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structures provides a consistent…

The usual fluid equations describing the large-scale evolution of mass density in the universe can be written as local in the density, velocity divergence, and velocity potential fields. As a result, the perturbative expansion in small…

We apply an orthogonalization procedure on the effective field theory of large scale structure (EFT of LSS) shapes, relevant for the angle-averaged bispectrum and non-Gaussian covariance of the matter power spectrum at one loop. Assuming…

We derive an effective field theory (EFT) for cosmological Lyman alpha forest fluctuations valid for the power spectrum at the one-loop order. The ``bottom-up'' EFT expansion at the level of the transmitted flux is identical to the…

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…

We study the bispectrum of large-scale structure in the EFTofLSS including corrections up to two-loop. We derive an analytic result for the double-hard limit of the two-loop correction, and show that the UV-sensitivity can be absorbed by…
