Starting from the Fisher matrix for counts in cells, I derive the full Fisher matrix for surveys of multiple tracers of large-scale structure. The key assumption is that the inverse of the covariance of the galaxy counts is given by the…

The presence of massive neutrinos in the early Universe is expected to have influenced the observed distribution of galaxies, and their observed motions. In this work, we explore whether measurements of galaxy peculiar velocities could…

Peculiar velocity surveys present a very promising route to measuring the growth rate of large-scale structure and its scale dependence. However, individual peculiar velocity surveys suffer from large statistical errors due to the intrinsic…

We extend the multi-tracer (MT) formalism of the effective field theory of large-scale structure to redshift space, comparing the results of MT to a single-tracer analysis when extracting cosmological parameters from simulations. We used a…

We investigate the sensitivity to the effects of lensing magnification on large-scale structure analyses combining photometric cosmic shear and galaxy clustering data (i.e. the now commonly called "3$\times$2-point" analysis). Using a…

Using the Fisher matrix formalism, we quantitatively investigate the constraints on a 10 dimensional space of cosmological parameters which may be obtained with future cluster surveys. We explore the dependence of the Omega_m constraint on…

Future surveys of large-scale structure will be able to measure perturbations on the scale of the cosmological horizon, and so could potentially probe a number of novel relativistic effects that are negligibly small on sub-horizon scales.…

Weak lensing of galaxies by large scale structure can potentially measure cosmological quantities as accurately as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, the relation between observables and fundamental parameters is more complex…

The greatest challenge in the interpretation of galaxy clustering data from any surveys is galaxy bias. Using a simple Fisher matrix analysis, we show that the bispectrum provides an excellent determination of linear and non-linear bias…

High-number-density tracers of large-scale structure, such as the HI-rich galaxies measured by 21 cm intensity mapping, have low sampling noise, making them particularly promising as cosmological probes. At large scales, this sampling noise…

In this paper, we apply the multi-tracer technique to harmonic-space (i.e.\ angular) power spectra with a likelihood-based approach. This goes beyond the usual Fisher matrix formalism hitherto implemented in forecasts with angular…

The power spectrum and bispectrum of dark matter tracers are key and complementary probes of the Universe. Next-generation surveys will deliver good measurements of the bispectrum, opening the door to improved cosmological constraints and…
