Redshift-space distortions are a sensitive probe of the growth of large-scale structure. In the linear regime, redshift-space distortions are fully described by the multipoles of the two-point correlation function. In the nonlinear regime,…
We present a new statistical tool, called the triangle correlation function (TCF), inspired by the earlier work of Obreschkow et al. It is derived from the three-point correlation function and aims to probe the characteristic scale of…
Building on previous developments of a harmonic decomposition framework for computing the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of projected scalar fields over the sky, this work investigates how much cosmological information is contained…
We present models for the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of both dark matter and galaxies. We show that models based on the halo model can reasonably match the dark matter 3PCF obtained from high-resolution $N$-body simulations. On…
Conventional estimators of the anisotropic power spectrum and two-point correlation function (2PCF) adopt the `Yamamoto approximation', fixing the line-of-sight of a pair of galaxies to that of just one of its members. Whilst this is…
We investigate whether neighbor-density-weighted marked correlation functions (MCFs) can extract cosmological information beyond the standard redshift-space two-point correlation function (2PCF). Using the Kun suite of 129 $w_0w_a$CDM$+\sum…
We analyze the quasar two-point correlation function (2pCF) within the redshift interval $0.8<z<2.2$ using a sample of 52303 quasars selected from the recent 7th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our approach to 2pCF uses a…
We present an algorithm that computes the multipole coefficients of the galaxy three-point correlation function (3PCF) without explicitly considering triplets of galaxies. Rather, centering on each galaxy in the survey, it expands the…
Several recent measurements have been made of the angular correlation function $w(\theta,m)$ of faint galaxies in deep surveys (e.g., Hubble Deep Field, HDF). Are the measured correlations indicative of gravitational growth of primordial…
The next generation of galaxy surveys will provide highly accurate measurements of the large-scale structure of the Universe, allowing for more stringent tests of gravity on cosmological scales. Higher order statistics are a valuable tool…

Ongoing and future spectroscopic galaxy surveys will cover unprecedented volumes with a number of objects large enough to effectively probe clustering anisotropies through higher-order statistics. In this work, we present a novel and…
The "spectral correlation function" analysis we introduce in this paper is a new tool for analyzing spectral-line data cubes. Our initial tests, carried out on a suite of observed and simulated data cubes, indicate that the spectral…
Over the next decade, improvements in cosmological parameter constraints will be driven by surveys of large-scale structure. Its inherent non-linearity suggests that significant information will be embedded in higher correlations beyond the…
We consider near-critical two-dimensional statistical systems with boundary conditions inducing phase separation on the strip. By exploiting low-energy properties of two-dimensional field theories, we compute arbitrary $n$-point correlation…
Extreme gravitational lensing and relativistic frequency shifts, combined together, imply that radiation emitted from a black hole's vicinity can echo at different frequencies and times, leading to spectrotemporal correlations in observed…

Light-field microscopy (LFM) is a 3D microscopy technique whereby volumetric information of a sample is gained by simultaneously capturing both the position and momentum (angular) information of light illuminating a scene. Conventional LFM…
We find the geometric phase of a two-level system undergoing pure dephasing via interaction with an arbitrary environment, taking into account the effect of the initial system-environment correlations. We use our formalism to calculate the…
