Synchronous-to-Newtonian scalar Fourier transformation
ID: synchronous-to-newtonian-scalar-fourier-transformation
For a nonzero Fourier mode in synchronous gauge, write . Under the passive displacement , cancellation of spatial scalar shear requires , and cancellation of the shift requires . The resulting cosmological Newtonian potential is and the spatial potential is . Both remain unchanged under residual synchronous-gauge freedom, for which and .
