Lagrangian Formulation of the Eulerian-EFT

We study the counter terms in the Eulerian version of the EFT of Large Scale Structure. We reformulate the equations to solve for the displacement of fluid elements as a bookkeeping variable and study the structure of the counter terms in this formulation. We show that in many cases the time dependence of the amplitude of the counter terms is irrelevant, as solutions obtained for various time dependences differ by terms that can be reabsorbed by higher order counter terms. We show that including all effects due to the non-locality in time and the time dependence of the counter terms there are six new parameters relevant for the two loop power spectrum calculation. We give explicit expressions for all these terms and study the contributions to them from large and small modes. We show that the shape of all these terms is very similar.
