We develop a method for calculating the correlation structure of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) using Feynman diagrams, when the CMB has been modified by gravitational lensing, Faraday rotation, patchy reionization, or other distorting effects. This method is used to calculate the bias of the Hu-Okamoto quadratic estimator in reconstructing the lensing power spectrum up to π’ͺ (Ο•4) in the lensing potential Ο•. We consider both the diagonal noise TT TT, EB EB, etc. and, for the first time…

The reconstructed CMB lensing bispectrum

. Weak gravitational lensing by the intervening large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe is the leading non-linear effect on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The…

Amplitudes for astrophysicists: known knowns

The use of quantum field theory to understand astrophysical phenomena is not new. However, for the most part, the methods used are those that have been developed decades ago. The intervening years…

Improved renormalization group computation of likelihood functions for cosmological data sets

The key improvement is showing how to integrate out the difference between specific adjacent cells before summing them in the coarse graining step, compared to the original formulation in which small-scale fluctuations were integrated more generally.

Large-scale structure perturbation theory without losing stream crossing

Author(s): McDonald, P; Vlah, Z | Abstract: Β© 2018 American Physical Society. We suggest an approach to perturbative calculations of large-scale clustering in the Universe that includes from the…

Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization field has been recognized as a potentially valuable probe of the cosmological density field. We apply likelihood-based…

The shape of the CMB lensing bispectrum

Lensing of the CMB generates a significant bispectrum, which should be detected by the Planck satellite at the 5-sigma level and is potentially a non-negligible source of bias for fNL estimators of…
