ρ(~x) ρ¯ Define the dimensionless density perturbation field: − δ(~x) = ρ¯
For a Gaussian random field, the one-point probability function is: 2 1 δ P (δ)dδ = exp 2 dδ √2πσ − 2σ h i δ = δP (δ)dδ = 0 h i δ2 = δ2P (δ)dδ = σ2 h i R Define n-point probability functionR : P (δ ,δ , ,δ ) dδ dδ dδ n 1 2 ··· n 1 2 ··· n Gravity induces correlations between δi so that n Pn (δ1,δ2, ,δn) = P (δi) ··· 6 i=1 Q Correlations are specified via n-point correlation function: δ δ δ = δ δ δ P (δ ,δ , ,δ ) dδ dδ dδ h 1 2 ··· ni 1 2 ··· n n 1 2 ··· n 1 2 ··· n In particular, we willR often use the two-point correlation function

It is useful to write δ(~x) as a Fourier series:
i~k ~x 1 i~k ~x 3 δ(~x) = δ~ke · δ~k = V δ(~x)e− · d ~x ~k P R iθ Note that δ are complex quantities: δ = δ e ~k ~k ~k | ~k| Decomposition in Fourier modes is preserved during linear evolution, so that n P δ ,δ , ,δ = P (δ ) n ~k1 ~k2 ~kn ~ki ··· i=1 Q Thus, statistical properties of δ(~x) completely specified by P (δ~k) A Gaussian random field is completely specified by first two moments:

Let δM (~x) be the density field δ(~x) smoothed (convolved) with a filter of 1/3 size R [M/ρ¯] . f ∝ Since convolution is multiplication in Fourier space, we have that
~ i~k ~x δM (~x) = δ~k WM (k)e · ~k P c with WM (~k) the FT of the filter function WM (~x).
The massc variance is simply

According to spherical collapse model the collapse occurs when
δ = δ 3 (12π)2/3 1.686 lin sc ≃ 20 ≃ δlin is linearly extrapolated density perturbation field δsc is critical overdensity for spherical collapse.
Press-Schechter ansatz: if δlin,M (~x) > δsc then ~x is located Press-Schechter ansatz: in a halo with mass > M .
The probability that ~x is in a halo of mass > M therefore is

Consider the distribution of matter and galaxies, smoothed on some scale R
ρ(~x) ρ¯ ngal(~x) n¯gal δ(~x) = − δgal(~x) = − ρ¯ n¯gal xxxxxxx Mass distribution xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Galaxy distribution
• There is no good reason why galaxies should trace mass.
Ratio is galaxy bias: b(~x) = δ (~x)/δ(~x) gal • • Bias may depend on smoothing scale R One can distinguish various types of bias:
• gal
δ linear, deterministic: δgal = bδ non-linear, deterministic: δgal = b(δ) δ
stochastic: δgal = δgal δ 6 h | i Dekel & Lahav 1999
Real bias probably non-linear and stochastic δ • Since δgal = δgal(L, M , ...) bias also depends on galaxy properties • ∗ Handling Bias
Bias is an imprint of galaxy formation, which is poorly understood • Consequently, little progress constraining cosmology with LSS •
Q: How can we constrain and quantify galaxy bias in a convenient way? Handling Bias

Q: How can we constrain and quantify galaxy bias in a convenient way?
A: With Halo Model plus Halo Occupation Statistics!
The Halo Model describes CDM distribution in terms of halo building blocks, under assumption that every CDM particle resides in virialized halo
On small scales: δ(~x) reflects density distribution of haloes (NFW profiles) • On large scales: δ(~x) reflects spatial distribution of haloes (halo bias) •
PARADIGM: All galaxies live in Cold Dark Matter Haloes.
galaxy bias = halo bias + halo occupation statistics Halo Model Ingredients
