We present a Next-to-next-to-leading (fifth or NNLO) order calculation for the covariance matrix of the matter power spectrum, taking into account the effect of survey window functions. Using the grid-based calculation scheme for the standard perturbation theory, GridSPT, we quickly generate multiple realizations of the nonlinear density fields to fifth order in perturbation theory, then estimate the power spectrum and the covariance matrix from the sample. To the end, we have obtained the non-Gaussian covariance originated from the one-loop trispectrum without explicitly computing the trispectrum. By comparing the GridSPT calculations with the N-body results, we show that NNLO GridSPT result reproduces the N-body results on quasi-linear scales where SPT accurately models nonlinear matter power spectrum. Incorporating the survey window function effect to GridSPT is rather straightforward, and the resulting NNLO covariance matrix also matches well with the N-body results.

  1. Control variates from Eulerian and Lagrangian perturbation theory: Application to the bispectrum

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A shifted, Zeldovich-resummed control variate with tree-level bispectrum reduces N-body matter-bispectrum variance by up to 10^4 at low k, enabling sub-2% precision from a single 1 (Gpc/h)^3 box.

  3. Renormalized Perturbation Theory at Field-level: the LSS bootstrap in GridSPT

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A renormalized field-level perturbation theory is shown to recover the LSS bootstrap parameter consistently across different grid cutoffs, validated at third and fifth order against N-body simulations.
