…but also spatial dependence:
Accuracy of Perturbation TheoryNot only time dependence…
Local Density Transformations
• Reduce nonlinear contributions by suppressing high density regions
Neyrinck et al (2009)
Clipping
• Typically only 1% of the field is subject to clipping

Part I Summary >104 times more triangles available after clipping
Enables precise determination of galaxy bias
BUT
Why does it work to such high k?
What about P(k)?

Part II: Summary Clipped power spectrum is analytically tractable
Higher order PT terms are suppressed
Nonlinear galaxy bias terms are suppressed
Well approximated by
Applying δmax allows kmax to be increased ~300 times more Fourier modes available
BUT what happens in redshift space?
