dc.description.abstract | Weak gravitational lensing is one of the most promising tools to analyze the nature of dark energy and dark matter. In order to constrain cosmological parameters with this method a good theoretical understanding of the underlying dark matter density field is necessary. This work provides an analytical treatment of higher-order correlation functions in the dark matter density field and compares the results obtained with numerical N-body simulations. The tool of choice is a semi-analytic halo model which combines results from perturbation theory and N-body simulations. The main emphasis of this work is on the fourth-order correlation function and its Fourier counterpart, the trispectrum, since it allows us to study the non-Gaussianities of the dark matter field and to calculate the full non-Gaussian covariance of the power spectrum. This provides a way to estimate the error and mode coupling in the dark matter power spectrum to higher accuracy than has been previously. | |
