The cumulant correlators, $C_{pq}$, are statistical quantities that generalise the better-known $S_p$ parameters; the former are obtained from the two-point probability distribution function of the density fluctuations while the latter…
We update the ingredients of the Gaussian streaming model (GSM) for the redshift-space clustering of biased tracers using the techniques of Lagrangian perturbation theory, effective field theory (EFT) and a generalized Lagrangian bias…
The spectrum and statistics of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) are investigated under the hypothesis that scale invariance of the primordial density fluctuations should be promoted to full conformal invariance. As in the…
We forecast the future constraints on scale-dependent parametrizations of galaxy bias and their impact on the estimate of cosmological parameters from the power spectrum of galaxies measured in a spectroscopic redshift survey. For the…
In this work, we propose new statistical tools that are capable of characterizing the simultaneous dependence of dark matter and gas clustering on the scale and the density environment, and these are the environment-dependent wavelet power…
Recently we constructed a renormalizable field theory up to two loops for the quasi-static depinning of elastic manifolds in a disordered environment. Here we explore further properties of the theory. We show how higher correlation…
We calculate the lowest-order non-linear contributions to the power spectrum, two-point correlation function, and smoothed variance of the density field, for Gaussian initial conditions and scale-free initial power spectra, $P(k) \sim k^n$.…
Non-Gaussianities of dynamical origin are disentangled from primordial ones using the formalism of large deviation statistics with spherical collapse dynamics. This is achieved by relying on accurate analytical predictions for the one-point…
This paper provides a systematic study of renormalization in models of halo biasing. Building on work of McDonald, we show that Eulerian biasing is only consistent with renormalization if non-local terms and higher-derivative contributions…
We develop a geometric formulation of peak statistics in cosmological density fields based on optimal transport and entropy. In this framework, the density field is treated as a probability measure, and its local structure is characterized…
We describe a model of dark matter halo abundances and clustering which combines the two most widely used approaches to this problem: that based on peaks and the other based on excursion sets. Our approach can be thought of as addressing…
Applicability of the previously introduced method of modified diagonal Baker-Gammel approximants is extended to truncated perturbative series (TPS) of any order in gauge theories. The approximants reproduce the TPS when expanded in power…
We study the large-scale bias parameter of cosmic voids with primordial non-Gaussian (PNG) initial conditions of the local type. In this scenario, the dark matter halo bias exhibits a characteristic scale dependence on large scales, which…
Recent development in the reconstruction of the large-scale structure (LSS) has seen significant improvement in restoring the linear baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) from at least the non-linear matter field. This outstanding performance…
Galaxies are biased tracers of the underlying cosmic web, which is dominated by dark matter components that cannot be directly observed. The relationship between dark matter density fields and galaxy distributions can be sensitive to…
We develop a field-level posterior for cosmological data by marginalizing over initial conditions and noise in a general forward model. While our focus is on large-scale structure data, the results generalize to any weakly non-Gaussian…
This article considers the detection of point sources in two dimensional astronomical images. The detection scheme we propose is based on peak statistics. We discuss the example of the detection of far galaxies in Cosmic Microwave…
Constraining primordial non-Gaussianities (PNGs) in the large-scale cosmic structure (LSS) is an important step in understanding properties of the early universe, specifically in distinguishing between different inflationary models.…
We present an X-ray tomography study of the segregation mechanisms of tracer particles in a three-dimensional cyclically sheared bi-disperse granular medium. Big tracers are dragged by convection to rise to the top surface and then remain…
We propose a strategy to measure the dark matter power spectrum using minimal assumptions about the galaxy distribution and the galaxy-dark matter cross-correlations. We argue that on large scales the central limit theorem generically…
