Effective Field Theory (EFT) modeling is expected to be a useful tool in the era of future higher-redshift galaxy surveys such as DESI-II and Spec-S5 due to its robust description of various large-scale structure tracers. However, large…

We present a new formalism to separate large- and small-scale contributions to cosmic shear through \textit{lensing counterterms} (LCT) inspired by effective field theory (EFT). Marginalizing over these LCTs isolates the large-scale…

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…

Spectroscopic surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid are mapping the spatial distribution of millions of galaxies, with Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) serving as the dominant tracer in the redshift range…

Recent research has emphasized the benefits of accurately reconstructing the initial Lagrangian positions of biased tracers from their positions at a later time, to gain cosmological information. A weighted semi-discrete optimal transport…

We develop, discuss, and compare several inference techniques to constrain theory parameters in collider experiments. By harnessing the latent-space structure of particle physics processes, we extract extra information from the simulator.…

Most cosmic shear analyses to date have relied on summary statistics (e.g. $\xi_+$ and $\xi_-$). These types of analyses are necessarily sub-optimal, as the use of summary statistics is lossy. In this paper, we forward-model the convergence…
