Abstract
In the EFT of biased tracers the noise field εg is not exactly uncorrelated with the nonlinear matter field δ. Its correlation with δ is effectively captured by adding stochasticities to each bias coefficient. We show that if these stochastic fields are Gaussian (the impact of their non-Gaussianity being subleading on quasi-linear scales anyway) it is possible to resum exactly their effect on the conditional likelihood P[δg|δ] to observe a galaxy field δg given an underlying δ. This resummation allows to take them into account in EFT-based approaches to Bayesian forward modeling. We stress that the resulting corrections to a purely Gaussian conditional likelihood with white-noise covariance are the most relevant on scales where the EFT is under control: they are more important than any non-Gaussianity of the noise εg.
