In the Halo Model, galaxies are hosted by dark matter halos, while the halos themselves are biased tracers of the underlying matter distribution. Measurements of galaxy correlation functions include contributions both from galaxies in different halos, and from galaxies in the same halo (the so-called 1-halo terms). We show that, for highly biased tracers, the 1-halo term of the power spectrum obeys a steep scaling relation in terms of bias. We also show that the 1-halo term of the trispectrum has a steep scaling with bias. The steepness of these scaling relations is such that the 1-halo terms can become key contributions to the $n$-point correlation functions, even at large scales. We interpret these results through analytical arguments and semi-analytical calculations in terms of the statistical properties of halos.

It has been recently shown that any halo velocity bias present in the initial conditions does not decay to unity, in agreement with predictions from peak theory. However, this is at odds with the standard formalism based on the coupled fluids approxi
mation for the coevolution of dark matter and halos. Starting from conservation laws in phase space, we discuss why the fluid momentum conservation equation for the biased tracers needs to be modified in accordance with the change advocated in Baldauf, Desjacques & Seljak (2014). Our findings indicate that a correct description of the halo properties should properly take into account peak constraints when starting from the Vlasov-Boltzmann equation.
The two-point clustering of dark matter halos is influenced by halo properties besides mass, a phenomenon referred to as halo assembly bias. Using the depth of the gravitational potential well, $V_{rm max}$, as our secondary halo property, in this pa
per we present the first study of the scale-dependence assembly bias. In the large-scale linear regime, $rgeq10h^{-1}{rm Mpc},$ our findings are in keeping with previous results. In particular, at the low-mass end ($M_{rm vir}<M_{rm coll}approx10^{12.5}{rm M}_{odot}$), halos with high-$V_{rm max}$ show stronger large-scale clustering relative to halos with low-$V_{rm max}$ of the same mass, this trend weakens and reverses for $M_{rm vir}geq M_{rm coll}.$ In the nonlinear regime, assembly bias in low-mass halos exhibits a pronounced scale-dependent bump at $500h^{-1}{rm kpc}-5h^{-1}{rm Mpc},$ a new result. This feature weakens and eventually vanishes for halos of higher mass. We show that this scale-dependent signature can primarily be attributed to a special subpopulation of ejected halos, defined as present-day host halos that were previously members of a higher-mass halo at some point in their past history. A corollary of our results is that galaxy clustering on scales of $rsim1-2h^{-1}{rm Mpc}$ can be impacted by up to $sim15%$ by the choice of the halo property used in the halo model, even for stellar mass-limited samples.
A very large dynamic range with simultaneous capture of both large- and small-scales in the simulations of cosmic structures is required for correct modelling of many cosmological phenomena, particularly at high redshift. This is not always available
, or when it is, it makes such simulations very expensive. We present a novel sub-grid method for modelling low-mass ($10^5,M_odotleq M_{rm halo}leq 10^9,M_odot$) haloes, which are otherwise unresolved in large-volume cosmological simulations limited in numerical resolution. In addition to the deterministic halo bias that captures the average property, we model its stochasticity that is correlated in time. We find that the instantaneous binned distribution of the number of haloes is well approximated by a log-normal distribution, with overall amplitude modulated by this temporal correlation bias. The robustness of our new scheme is tested against various statistical measures, and we find that temporally correlated stochasticity generates mock halo data that is significantly more reliable than that from temporally uncorrelated stochasticity. Our method can be applied for simulating processes that depend on both the small- and large-scale structures, especially for those that are sensitive to the evolution history of structure formation such as the process of cosmic reionization. As a sample application, we generate a mock distribution of medium-mass ($ 10^{8} leq M/M_{odot} leq 10^{9}$) haloes inside a 500 Mpc$,h^{-1}$, $300^3$ grid simulation box. This mock halo catalogue bears a reasonable statistical agreement with a halo catalogue from numerically-resolved haloes in a smaller box, and therefore will allow a very self-consistent sets of cosmic reionization simulations in a box large enough to generate statistically reliable data.
Dark matter halo clustering depends not only on halo mass, but also on other properties such as concentration and shape. This phenomenon is known broadly as assembly bias. We explore the dependence of assembly bias on halo definition, parametrized by
spherical overdensity parameter, $Delta$. We summarize the strength of concentration-, shape-, and spin-dependent halo clustering as a function of halo mass and halo definition. Concentration-dependent clustering depends strongly on mass at all $Delta$. For conventional halo definitions ($Delta sim 200mathrm{m}-600mathrm{m}$), concentration-dependent clustering at low mass is driven by a population of haloes that is altered through interactions with neighbouring haloes. Concentration-dependent clustering can be greatly reduced through a mass-dependent halo definition with $Delta sim 20mathrm{m}-40mathrm{m}$ for haloes with $M_{200mathrm{m}} lesssim 10^{12}, h^{-1}mathrm{M}_{odot}$. Smaller $Delta$ implies larger radii and mitigates assembly bias at low mass by subsuming altered, so-called backsplash haloes into now larger host haloes. At higher masses ($M_{200mathrm{m}} gtrsim 10^{13}, h^{-1}mathrm{M}_{odot}$) larger overdensities, $Delta gtrsim 600mathrm{m}$, are necessary. Shape- and spin-dependent clustering are significant for all halo definitions that we explore and exhibit a relatively weaker mass dependence. Generally, both the strength and the sense of assembly bias depend on halo definition, varying significantly even among common definitions. We identify no halo definition that mitigates all manifestations of assembly bias. A halo definition that mitigates assembly bias based on one halo property (e.g., concentration) must be mass dependent. The halo definitions that best mitigate concentration-dependent halo clustering do not coincide with the expected average splashback radii at fixed halo mass.
We derive a simple prescription for including beyond-linear halo bias within the standard, analytical halo-model power spectrum calculation. This results in a corrective term that is added to the usual two-halo term. We measure this correction using
data from $N$-body simulations and demonstrate that it can boost power in the two-halo term by a factor of $sim2$ at scales $ksim0.7,h Mpc^{-1}$, with the exact magnitude of the boost determined by the specific pair of fields in the two-point function. How this translates to the full power spectrum depends on the relative strength of the one-halo term, which can mask the importance of this correction to a greater or lesser degree, again depending on the fields. Generally we find that our correction is more important for signals that arise from lower-mass haloes. When comparing our calculation to simulated data we find that the under-prediction of power in the transition region between the two- and one-halo terms, which typically plagues halo-model calculations, is almost completely eliminated when including the full non-linear halo bias. We show improved results for the auto and cross spectra of galaxies, haloes and matter. In the specific case of matter-matter or matter-halo power we note that a large fraction of the improvement comes from the non-linear biasing between low- and high-mass haloes. We envisage our model being useful in the analytical modelling of cross correlation signals. Our non-linear bias halo-model code is available at https://github.com/alexander-mead/BNL
