We provide predictions on small-scale cosmological density power spectrum from supernova lensing dispersion. Parameterizing the primordial power spectrum with running $\alpha$ and running of running $\beta$ of the spectral index, we exclude…
The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) experiment requires a sufficiently dense sampling of large-scale structure tracers with spectroscopic redshift, which is observationally expensive especially at high redshifts $z\simgt 1$. Here we…
Consistency Relations (CR) for the Large Scale Structure are exact equalities between correlation functions of different order. These relations descend from the equivalence principle and hold for primordial perturbations generated by…
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) feature in the clustering of galaxies or quasars provides a ``standard ruler" for distance measurements in cosmology. In this work, we report a $2\sim3\sigma$ signal of the BAO dip feature in the…

Renormalization of the Coulomb interaction in layered metals results in a strongly anisotropic plasma mode with low frequencies for small components of wave vector in the in-plane direction. Interaction of electrons with this mode was found…
We define Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) distances $\hat{d}_\alpha(z, z_c)$, $\hat{d}_z(z, z_c)$, and $\hat{d}_/(z, z_c)$ that do not depend on cosmological parameters. These BAO distances are measured as a function of redshift $z$ with…
We present an analysis of anisotropic baryon acoustic oscillations and elucidate how a mis-estimation of the cosmology, which leads to incorrect values of the angular diameter distance, d_A, and Hubble parameter, H, manifest themselves in…
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) are a powerful probe of the expansion history of our Universe and are typically measured in the two-point statistics of a galaxy survey, either in Fourier space or in configuration space. In this work, we…

We present the calculation of the Lyman-alpha (Lyman-$\alpha$) transmitted flux fluctuations with full relativistic corrections to the first order. Even though several studies exist on relativistic effects in galaxy clustering, this is the…
In this letter we describe a new method to use Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) to derive a constraint on the possible variation of the speed of light. The method relies on the fact that there is a simple relation between the angular…
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) scale in the clustering of galaxies is a powerful standard ruler to measure cosmological distances and determine the geometry of the Universe. Past surveys have detected the BAO feature in the…
Inspired by the string axiverse idea, it has been suggested that the recent transition from decelerated to accelerated cosmic expansion is driven by an axion-like quintessence field with a sub-Planckian decay constant. The scenario requires…
We obtain constraints on cosmological parameters from the spherically averaged redshift-space correlation function of the CMASS Data Release 9 (DR9) sample of the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We combine this information…
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are features in the matter power spectrum on scales of order 100-150 h^{-1} Mpc that promise to be a powerful tool to constrain and test cosmological models. The BAO have attracted such attention that…
The auto-correlation function and the frequency power spectral density due to a super-position of uncorrelated exponential pulses are considered. These are shown to be independent of the degree of pulse overlap and thereby the intermittency…
Uncertain feedback processes in galaxies affect the distribution of matter, currently limiting the power of weak lensing surveys. If we can identify cosmological statistics that are robust against these uncertainties, or constrain these…
Coherent properties of the baryon-photon fluid decoupling are considered in the terms of an effective nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a macroscopic wave function that specifies the index of the coherent state. Generation of a…
We compare the non-linear matter power spectrum in real space calculated analytically from 3rd-order perturbation theory with N-body simulations at 1<z<6. We find that the perturbation theory prediction agrees with the simulations to better…
