Evaluate all derivatives at zero long perturbation, where $\nu ={\delta }_c/{\sigma }_{G,s}$, and write $\bar{n}(\nu )$ for the unperturbed abundance. The peak-background split changes the halo peak height toThe chain rule in the specified bias expansion therefore givesNo explicit abundance law is specified, so these derivatives are the general answer. For example, if $\bar{n}$ has the Press-Schechter halo mass function dependence $\nu e^{-{\nu }^2/2}$, then $b_{10}=({\nu }^2-1)/{\delta }_c$ and $b_{01}=2f_{\mathrm{NL}}({\nu }^2-1)$.

For the linear long mode, the cosmological Poisson equation gives ${\phi }_{G,L}(\mathbf{k})={\delta }_{G,L}(\mathbf{k})/\alpha (k)$. Consequently the deterministic galaxy bias and power spectrum areHere $P_m$ is the linear cosmological density power spectrum; stochastic tracer noise has been omitted. This scale-dependent halo bias from local non-Gaussianity is proportional to $k^{-2}$ in the specified $\alpha (k)=2k^2/(3H^2{\Omega }_m)$ convention.

For $b_{10}\ne 0$, plot the ratio $P_g/(b_{10}^2{P}_m)$ to separate the effect from the shape of $P_m$. Positive $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ increases the ratio as $k$ decreases. Negative $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ first suppresses it, gives a zero when $\alpha (k)=2|f_{\mathrm{NL}}|{\delta }_c$, and then makes it rise again after the effective galaxy bias changes sign. The auto-power spectrum never becomes negative. A truncation $P_g\simeq b_{10}^2[1+4f_{\mathrm{NL}}{\delta }_c/\alpha (k)]P_m$ is valid only when $|2f_{\mathrm{NL}}{\delta }_c/\alpha (k)|\ll 1$ and must not be extrapolated through the zero. Within the deterministic expression, both signs give $P_g\propto k^{-4}{P}_m$ at sufficiently small $k$. For a nearly scale-invariant primordial spectrum, $P_m\propto k^{n_s}$ in the large-scale transfer limit, so this formal asymptote is $k^{n_s-4}$.

There is a convention issue in calling the specified abundance response an observed galaxy overdensity. The threshold response is naturally a linear Lagrangian halo bias. If $b_{10}$ instead denotes the physical linear Eulerian halo bias, the Lagrangian-to-Eulerian linear bias relation adds one to the density coefficient: $b_{01}=2f_{\mathrm{NL}}{\delta }_c(b_{10}-1)$, and $P_g=[b_{10}+b_{01}/\alpha {]}^2{P}_m$. The boxed formulas follow the abundance expansion explicitly supplied in the paper. The Newtonian treatment also cannot be extrapolated beyond its physical large-scale domain without relativistic projection effects.

In the peak-background split, a long-wavelength overdensity changes the local threshold from ${\delta }_c$ to ${\delta }_c-{\delta }_l$. At fixed mass, the Press-Schechter halo mass function depends on the threshold through $\nu e^{-{\nu }^2/2}$. ThereforeIt follows that the linear Lagrangian halo bias is

For a universal abundance depending on halo peak height, the peak-background split gives a potential-response coefficient $b_{\phi }=2f_{\mathrm{NL}}{\delta }_c{b}_L$, with $b_L$ the linear Lagrangian halo bias. If $\delta =\alpha (k)\phi$, the corresponding deterministic galaxy bias correction is $\Delta b=b_{\phi }/\alpha (k)$, proportional to $k^{-2}$ on sufficiently large scales. For a physical Eulerian tracer, $b_E=1+b_L$, so $b_{\phi }=2f_{\mathrm{NL}}{\delta }_c(b_E-1)$. The deterministic tracer power spectrum is $(b_E+\Delta b{)}^2{P}_m$; it remains nonnegative even if a negative correction changes the sign of the tracer-matter correlation.
