Abstract: We study the EFT likelihood for biased tracers in redshift space, for which the bias expansion of the galaxy velocity field $mathbf{v}_g$ plays a fundamental role. The equivalence principle forbids stochastic contributions to $mathbf{v}_g$ to survive at small $k$. Therefore, at leading order in derivatives the form of the likelihood $calP[ilde{delta}_g|delta,!mathbfv]$ to observe a redshift-space galaxy overdensity $ilde{delta}_g(ildemathbfx)$ given a rest-frame matter and velocity fields $delta(mathbfx)$, $mathbfv(mathbfx)$ is fixed by the rest-frame noise. If this noise is Gaussian with constant power spectrum, $calP[ilde{delta}_g|delta,!mathbfv]$ is also a Gaussian in the difference between $ilde{delta}_g(ildemathbfx)$ and its bias expansion: redshift-space distortions only make the covariance depend on $delta(mathbfx)$ and $mathbfv(mathbfx)$. We then show how to match this result to perturbation theory, and that one can consistently neglect the field-dependent covariance if the bias expansion is stopped at second order in perturbations. We discuss qualitatively how this affects numerical implementations of the EFT-based forward modeling, and how the picture changes when the survey window function is taken into account.
