Removable Matter-Power-Spectrum Covariance from Bias Fluctuations
  We find a simple, accurate model for the covariance matrix of the real-space
cosmological matter power spectrum on slightly nonlinear scales (k~0.1-0.8
h/Mpc at z=0), where off-diagonal matrix elements become substantial. The model
includes a multiplicative, scale-independent modulation of the power spectrum.
It has only one parameter, the variance (among realizations) of the variance of
the nonlinear density field in cells, with little dependence on the cell size
between 2-8 Mpc/h. Furthermore, we find that this extra covariance can be
modeled out by instead measuring the power spectrum of (delta/sigma_cell), i.e.
the ratio of the overdensity to its dispersion in cells a few Mpc in size.
Dividing delta by sigma_cell essentially removes the non-Gaussian part of the
covariance matrix, nearly diagonalizing it.
