Abstract

We derive cosmological parameter constraints from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) galaxy clustering data, based on a joint full-shape analysis of the power spectrum multipoles and the bispectrum monopole using the ShapeFit framework. This is the follow-up of our previous work, in which we obtained for the first time constraints on the ShapeFit parameters using the bispectrum of DESI DR1. Here we present the first ShapeFit cosmological inference results using the bispectrum of DESI DR1. We recover values for the matter density parameter and Hubble constant of respectively Ωm=0.310±0.012\Omega_m=0.310\pm0.012 and H0=[68.92±0.97]kms1Mpc1H_0=[68.92\pm0.97]\,\mathrm{km\, s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}}, consistent with previous results from the full DESI DR1 dataset that did not use the bispectrum signal. The inclusion of the bispectrum significantly tightens the constraints on the amplitude of fluctuations, reducing the error-bars in ln(As×1010)\ln(A_s\times10^{10}) by approximately 20\%, compared to using the power spectrum alone. We also explore extended cosmological models by performing fits for the evolving dark energy equation of state w0waw_0w_a, and the sum of neutrino masses mν\sum m_\nu. In these cases, we obtain constraints slightly larger than the ones from previous works from the DESI collaboration, due to not combining the full-shape results with other probes in all tracers. We find no strong evidence of deviations from standard Λ\LambdaCDM, with the dark energy equation-of-state remaining within 2σ\sigma from a cosmological constant Λ\Lambda, and the neutrino mass being consistent with the normal hierarchy, mν<0.1[eV]\sum m_\nu<0.1\,[eV] at 95\% confidence limit. These constraints are broadly consistent with other DESI DR1 analyses, thus validating the robustness of the ShapeFit compression approach and the inclusion of the bispectrum for cosmological inference.
