Expand , where the standard perturbation theory density kernel convolves linear fields. Through fourth order in the Gaussian linear field, the only power-spectrum diagrams are the tree contraction , the loop joining two vertices , and the two orderings that join an vertex to a linear leg, . Their expressions are

. The three required contraction topologies are P11, P22, and P13 plus P31. At low wavenumber the one-loop sum approaches the linear spectrum; the loop terms become appreciable around 0.1 inverse megaparsecs times h, and fixed-order perturbation theory eventually fails.
