What is 1-loop Perturbative Corrections to the Matter and Galaxy Bispectrum with non-Gaussian Initial Conditions about?

We derive the expressions for the 1-loop corrections in cosmological, Eulerian, perturbation theory to the matter bispectrum and to the galaxy bispectrum, assuming local galaxy bias, in presence of non-Gaussian initial conditions. We compute them explicitly for the particular case of non-vanishing initial bispectrum and trispectrum in the local model and for a non-vanishing initial bispectrum alone for the equilateral model of primordial non-Gaussianity. While the primordial contribution to the matter bispectrum for values compatible with CMB observations is dominant over the component due to gravitational instability at large scales, 1-loop perturbative corrections due to non-Gaussian initial conditions correspond to just a few percent of the gravity-induced bispectrum at mildly non-linear scales, similarly to what happens for the matter power spectrum. However, in the perturbative expansion for the galaxy bispectrum, 1-loop diagrams arising from non-linear bias are responsible for significant large-scale contributions, indeed exceeding the primordial component, both for the local and equilateral model. We study the peculiar dependence on scale and on the shape of the triangular c
