We compare the cosmological constraints that can be obtained from halo clustering on non-linear scales ($2 h^{-1}$ Mpc < $r$ < $50 h^{-1}$ Mpc) using Betti curves, a topological summary statistic, and $k$-th nearest neighbor ($k$NN)…

We present the first cosmological constraints from analyzing higher-order galaxy clustering on non-linear scales. We use ${\rm S{\scriptsize IM}BIG}$, a forward modeling framework for galaxy clustering analyses that employs simulation-based…

We place constraints on the matter density of the Universe and the amplitude of clustering using measurements of the galaxy two-point correlation function from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We generate model predictions for different…

In this series of papers, we present a simulation-based model for the non-linear clustering of galaxies based on separate modelling of clustering in real space and velocity statistics. In the first paper, we present an emulator for the…

One of the most powerful cosmological datasets when it comes to constraining neutrino masses is represented by galaxy power spectrum measurements, $P_{gg}(k)$. The constraining power of $P_{gg}(k)$ is however severely limited by…

Recent studies have shown that the cross-correlation coefficient between galaxies and dark matter is very close to unity on scales outside a few virial radii of galaxy halos, independent of the details of how galaxies populate dark matter…
