We show how to obtain constraints on $\beta=f/b$, the ratio of the matter growth rate and the bias that quantifies the linear redshift-space distortions, that are independent of the cosmological model, using multiple tracers of large-scale…

The galaxy power spectrum is one of the central quantities in cosmology. It contains information about the primordial inflationary process, the matter clustering, the baryon-photon interaction, the effects of gravity, the galaxy-matter…

We derive general expressions for the multi-tracer Fisher matrix, both assuming that the cross-spectra are constrained by the auto-spectra, and also allowing for independent degrees of freedom in the cross-spectra. We show that, just like…

We study the performance of the perturbative bias expansion when combined with the multi-tracer technique, and their impact on the extraction of cosmological parameters. We consider two populations of tracers of large-scale structure and…

The growth rate of large-scale structure provides a powerful consistency test of the standard cosmological model and a probe of possible deviations from general relativity. We use a Fisher analysis to forecast constraints on the growth rate…

Redshift evolution and peculiar velocities break the isotropy of cosmological surveys with respect to the directions parallel and transverse to the line of sight, limiting the accuracy of the Fourier representation to small areas and…

We apply the multi-tracer technique to test the possibility of improved constraints on the amplitude of local primordial non-Gaussianity, $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$, in the cosmic large-scale structure. A precise measurement of $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ is…

Galaxy redshift surveys are one of the key probes in modern cosmology. In the data analysis of galaxy surveys, the precision of the statistical measurement is primarily limited by the cosmic variance on large scales. Fortunately, this…

The observed large-scale structure of the Universe is not a direct measure on the underlying distribution of matter. These observations are subtly distorted by gravitational lensing effects, which leave imprints on the statistical…
