Analytic Prediction of Baryonic Effects from the EFT of Large Scale Structures

Matthew Lewandowski, Ashley Perko, Leonardo Senatore

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 F…

Testing Inflation with Large Scale Structure: Connecting Hopes with Reality

Marcelo Alvarez, Tobias Baldauf, J. Richard Bond +25

The statistics of primordial curvature fluctuations are our window into the period of inflation, where these fluctuations were generated. To date, the cosmic microwave background h…

Gravitational Waves and the Scale of Inflation

Mehrdad Mirbabayi, Leonardo Senatore, Eva Silverstein +1

We revisit alternative mechanisms of gravitational wave production during inflation and argue that they generically emit a non-negligible amount of scalar fluctuations. We find the…

Redshift Space Distortions in the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structures

Leonardo Senatore, Matias Zaldarriaga

We introduce a formalism, valid both for dark matter and collapsed objects, that allows us to describe redshift space distortions in the context of the Effective Field Theory of La…

New natural shapes of non-Gaussianity from high-derivative interactions and their optimal limits from WMAP 9-year data

Siavosh R. Behbahani, Mehrdad Mirbabayi, Leonardo Senatore +1

Given the fantastic experimental effort, it is important to thoroughly explore the signature space of inflationary models. The fact that higher derivative operators do not renormal…

Bias in the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structures

Leonardo Senatore

We study how to describe collapsed objects, such as galaxies, in the context of the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structures. The overdensity of galaxies at a given locatio…
