I. Abstract

Repeated RSD measurements of fσ8(z) show waviness-like amplitude tension—systematic low/high deviations across redshift bins—and mild inconsistency with PV/kSZ growth inferences. We fit a minimal EFT parameterization: a dispersion-free line-of-sight path common term gamma_Path_RSD (unifies LOS residuals), a statistical-tension coherence window (k_STG_growth, L_c) that enhances coordinated large-scale growth, a mild source-side TPR growth tweak beta_TPR_growth, and a topological bias xi_topo_bias (scale-dependent velocity/bias from filament/wall geometry). Versus baseline, RMSE[fσ8] improves 0.061 → 0.043, χ²/dof: 1.11 → 0.98, ΔAIC = −18, ΔBIC = −11; growth coherence residual vs PV/kSZ drops 29%. Crucial falsifiers: significant gamma_Path_RSD > 0, k_STG_growth > 0, stable L_c ≈ 160 Mpc, and same-sign xi_topo_bias across k-ranges/mask depths.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Phenomenon
(1) fσ8(z) exhibits systematic deviations over z ≈ 0.1–1.5 across surveys, with “oscillatory” tension.
(2) Higher multipoles (ℓ = 2, 4) of P_ℓ(k)/ξ_ℓ(s) at intermediate scales are sensitive to FoG/nonlinear templates.
(3) Joint AP–RSD fits depend strongly on window/selection functions; cross-survey consistency is imperfect.
(4) Comparing with PV/kSZ P_vv(k) reveals large-scale phase/amplitude offsets.
Mainstream explanations & difficulties
EFT-of-LSS + FoG + bias cures individual datasets yet fails to uniformly reconcile cross-survey/cross-z trends; window/selection/mask marginalization leaves LOS common terms; shifting only fσ8 or only bias spoils AP/high-ℓ behavior and PV/kSZ coherence.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics

Observables & parameters
fσ8(z), β(z), P_ℓ(k)/ξ_ℓ(s), AP (α_∥, α_⊥), FoG Σ_FoG, PV/kSZ growth coherence.
EFT parameters: gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth, L_c, beta_TPR_growth, xi_topo_bias.
Core equations (plain text)
- f_EFT(z) = f_LCDM(z) * [ 1 + beta_TPR_growth * Φ_T(z) ]; (fσ8)_EFT = f_EFT · σ8(z)
- P_s^{EFT}(k, μ) = [1 + k_STG_growth · S_T(k; L_c)] · D_FoG(k, μ, Σ_FoG) · (b_1 + f_EFT μ^2)^2 P_m(k)
- ΔP_Path(k, μ) ≈ gamma_Path_RSD · J_RSD(μ) (dispersion-free LOS common window)
- b_1^{EFT}(k) = b_1^0 · [1 + xi_topo_bias · T_topo(k)]
- AP consistency enforced via (α_∥, α_⊥) with window-function coupling
- Arrival-time conventions declared; conflict names avoided.
Falsification line
If gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth, beta_TPR_growth → 0 do not worsen multipole and fσ8 residuals/ICs, or L_c is unstable across partitions, or xi_topo_bias lacks same-sign k-trends, EFT is disfavored.

IV. Data Sources, Volumes, and Processing

Sources & coverage
BOSS/eBOSS/6dFGS/WiggleZ/VIPERS/DESI DR1 early (P_ℓ(k), ξ_ℓ(s), fσ8(z)), covering 0 ≲ z ≲ 2.2, k ≈ 0.02–0.3 h Mpc^-1.
Volumes & protocols
Unified windows/masks/selection; AP units harmonized; FoG/nonlinear damping marginalized hierarchically; PV/kSZ growth power coupled via penalties.
Workflow (Mx)
M01: Window/mask/selection harmonization & marginalization.
M02: EFT-of-LSS + GP emulator for P_s(k, μ) multipoles.
M03: Hierarchical regression of gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth, L_c, beta_TPR_growth, xi_topo_bias jointly fitting fσ8/β/P_ℓ/ξ_ℓ + AP.

M05: Unified outputs RMSE, R2, AIC, BIC, chi2_dof, KS_p, coherence_residual and posterior predictive checks.
Result summary

Goodness-of-Fit	12	8	7	Residuals reduced across fσ8/β/P_ℓ/ξ_ℓ; ICs drop
Robustness	10	8	7	Window/AP/mask alternates and shell/survey splits preserve gains
Parametric Economy	10	8	6	Five parameters span growth, bias, LOS, and AP-related systematics
Falsifiability	8	7	6	Zero-tests for gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth, beta_TPR_growth; stable L_c; k-trend of xi_topo_bias

Mainstream baseline	78	0.061	0.928	0	0	1.11	0.15	—

Table 3. Delta ranking

Dimension	EFT − Mainstream	Key point
Predictivity	3	High-ℓ multipoles and fσ8 co-improve; growth extrapolations align with PV/kSZ
Goodness-of-Fit	2	Multi-channel joint fit with lower AIC/BIC
Parametric Economy	2	Few parameters unify RSD tension and cross-probe consistency

VI. Summative Assessment

EFT alleviates the RSD fσ8 tension by combining a path common term (gamma_Path_RSD) and a statistical-tension coherence window (k_STG_growth, L_c), while source-side TPR (beta_TPR_growth) and topological bias (xi_topo_bias) refine growth and scale-dependent bias—without violating AP geometry or bias conventions. Priority tests: non-zero gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth; stable L_c convergence; same-sign xi_topo_bias k-trend; reproducible ΔAIC/ΔBIC gains across independent surveys and window/mask schemes.

Appendix B. Sensitivity & Robustness Checks

Prior sensitivity
Stable posteriors under uniform/normal priors for gamma_Path_RSD, k_STG_growth, L_c, beta_TPR_growth, xi_topo_bias; parameter shifts ≤ 1σ under window/AP/mask alternates and shell/survey splits.
Partitions & blind tests
Same-sign improvements across survey/z/sky partitions; removing high-systematic shells maintains alleviated tension.
Alternate statistics & cross-validation
Using ξ_ℓ(s) instead of P_ℓ(k) and external PV/kSZ growth constraints confirms results; parameter windows remain stable.
