Description

In this talk, I will present recent developments in perturbation theory regarding the study of the large-scale clustering of galaxies in theories with scale-dependent linear growth, such as those involving massive neutrinos and modified gravity. The challenge in these models is that the introduced scale is incorporated into the perturbative kernels. We utilize the Lagrangian approach to compute these kernels and then map them to the Eulerian frame to obtain the power spectrum. Unfortunately, our method for computing statistics is quite slow. Therefore, we simplify the modified kernels by retaining only the terms that contain the scale-dependent growth factor. This approach enables us to estimate parameters from BOSS data using standard MCMC methods.
