AI总结:

本文提出NME与RRE两种拉格朗日位移场估计器,证明既有重建偏差并非数值伪影,并用有效场论将重建位移场模型误差从约15%降至几个百分点。

摘要:

晚期非线性拉格朗日位移场与初始场高度相关,因此重建该位移场可能使我们能够提取原初宇宙学信息。我们此前的工作[1]利用文献[2]提出的迭代方法,仔细研究了从晚期密度场重建的位移场,并发现它并未完全收敛到真实的、底层的位移场(例如,在红移z=0.6、k约为0.2 h/Mpc时存在约8%的偏差)。我们还为重建场构建了拉格朗日微扰理论模型,但该模型无法解释此前工作中真实场与重建场之间的差异。据推测,造成这种差异的主要来源是位移估计器中由样本离散性导致的数值伪影。在本文中,我们开发了两种新的位移场估计器以减少这种数值离散效应,即归一化动量估计器(NME)和重标度恢复估计器(RRE)。我们表明,文献[1]报告的差异并非由数值伪影造成。我们的结论是,在我们研究的红移处,文献[2]的方法不能完全重建非线性位移场的形状,尽管它仍是一种高效的BAO重建方法。与此同时,通过采用有效场论方法适当地考虑重建过程中对紫外敏感的项,我们改进了重建位移场的理论模型,精度提高了近五倍:在红移z=0.6、k约为0.2 h/Mpc时,从约15%提升到几个百分点的水平。

英文摘要:

The late-time nonlinear Lagrangian displacement field is highly correlated with the initial field, so reconstructing it could enable us to extract primordial cosmological information. Our previous work [1] carefully studied the displacement field reconstructed from the late time density field using the iterative method proposed by Ref. [2] and found that it does not fully converge to the true, underlying displacement field (e.g., $\sim 8\%$ offset at $k\sim 0.2 \ihMpc$ at $z=0.6$). We also constructed the Lagrangian perturbation theory model for the reconstructed field, but the model could not explain the discrepancy between the true and the reconstructed fields in the previous work. The main sources of the discrepancy were speculated to be a numerical artifact in the displacement estimator due to the discreteness of the sample. In this paper, we develop two new estimators of the displacement fields to reduce such numerical discreteness effect, the normalized momentum estimator~(NME) and the rescaled resumed estimator~(RRE). We show that the discrepancy Ref. [1] reported is not due to the numerical artifacts. We conclude that the method from Ref. [2] cannot fully reconstruct the shape of the nonlinear displacement field at the redshift we studied, while it is still an efficient BAO reconstruction method. In parallel, by properly accounting for the UV-sensitive term in a reconstruction procedure with an effective field theory approach, we improve the theoretical model for the reconstructed displacement field, by almost five times, from $\sim 15\%$ to the level of a few \% at $k\sim 0.2\ihMpc$ at the redshift $z=0.6$.
