Boltzmann Equation for Biased Tracers
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Develops an effective theory for biased tracers using the Boltzmann equation.
- •Provides a unified description of density and velocity bias.
- •Predicts time- and scale-dependent bias parameters.
- •Reproduces the power spectrum of biased tracers obtained in the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure with fewer parameters.
“At linear order, this framework predicts time- and scale-dependent bias parameters in a self-consistent manner, encompassing peak bias as a special case while clarifying how velocity bias and higher-derivative effects arise.”
