A measurement of the bispectrum will not only improve the cosmological constraints, but also give us the possibility to probe gravity on cosmological scales. In this paper, we present a framework to numerically calculate the one-loop matter bispectrum based on standard perturbation theory (SPT). This approach allows general modifications to the standard $\\Lambda$CDM model to be easily implemented. We demonstrate the performance of the bispectrum calculation in three representative cases, namely the Vainshtein-screened Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model, the chameleon-screened Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ model and the phenomenological dark scattering (DS) momentum-exchange model. The predicted bispectra are then compared with measured results from a set of cosmological $N$-body simulations, and the impact of possible systematics arising from simplified or approximate treatments in the perturbative calculation is studied in detail. We find that the one-loop bispectrum calculation offers significantly more information on general screening and momentum exchange effects than the leading-order bispectrum calculation. Further, the accuracy of the one-loop prediction is shown to be comparable to non-linear fitting formulas over a wide range of wavenumbers ($k\\lesssim0.3\\,h$$\\mbox{Mpc}^{-1}$) even at lower redshifts, $z\\lesssim 1$.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01120v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.01120v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-one-loop-matter-bispectrum-as-a-probe-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/nebblu/actio-reactio","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
