We present a Gaussian-process (GP) emulator for the monopole of the redshift-space halo power spectrum in $\Lambda$CDM cosmologies with massive neutrinos. The emulator is trained on 1000 COLA simulations distributed in a Latin-hypercube…
We examine the signature of dynamic (redshift-space) distortions and geometric distortions (including the Alcock-Paczynski effect) in the context of the galaxy power spectrum measured in upcoming galaxy redshift surveys. Information comes…
We examine the squeezed limit of the bispectrum when a light scalar with arbitrary non-derivative self-interactions is coupled to the inflaton. We find that when the hidden sector scalar is sufficiently light ($m\lesssim0.1\,H$), the…
Next-generation galaxy surveys will increasingly rely on the galaxy bispectrum to improve cosmological constraints, especially on primordial non-Gaussianity. A key theoretical requirement that remains to be developed is the analysis of…
We introduce a non-Gaussian model of structure formation, and show how it produces surprising sampling effects on the estimation of the CMB power spectrum. Estimates of the average power spectrum based on small sky patches produce…
We study the power spectrum dipole of an N-body simulation which includes relativistic effects through ray-tracing and covers the low redshift Universe up to $z_{\rm max} = 0.465$ (RayGalGroup simulation). We model relativistic corrections…

We present a new observable, position-dependent power spectrum, to measure the large-scale structure bispectrum in the squeezed configuration, where one wavenumber is much smaller than the other two. The squeezed-limit bispectrum measures…
We present a new model for the redshift-space power spectrum of galaxies and demonstrate its accuracy in modeling the monopole, quadrupole, and hexadecapole of the galaxy density field down to scales of $k = 0.4 \ h\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. The…
We consider a situation where the density and peculiar velocities in real space are linear, and we calculate \xi_s the two-point correlation function in redshift space, incorporating all non-linear effects which arise as a consequence of…
In the context of the present and future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments, going beyond the information provided by the power spectrum has become necessary in order to tightly constrain the cosmological model. The non-Gaussian…
We write down the Lagrangian bias expansion in general relativity up to 4th order in terms of operators describing the curvature of an early-time hypersurface for comoving observers. They can be easily expanded in synchronous or comoving…
We study the covariance of the cross-power spectrum of different tracers for the large-scale structure. We develop the counts-in-cells framework for the multi-tracer approach, and use this to derive expressions for the full non-Gaussian…
We study the galaxy bispectrum multipoles in the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$ gravity model, where a scalar degree of freedom mediates a fifth force that is screened in high-density environments. The model is specified by $f_{R0}$, the present-day…
Non-Gaussianity in the inflationary perturbations can couple observable scales to modes of much longer wavelength (even superhorizon), leaving as a signature a large-angle modulation of the observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) power…
Assuming a LCDM universe in a single-field inflationary scenario, we compute the three-point correlation function of the observed matter density fluctuation in the squeezed triangular configuration, accounting for all the relativistic…
Direct measurements of peculiar velocities of galaxies and clusters of galaxies can in principle provide explicit information on the three dimensional mass distribution, but this information is modulated by the fact that velocity field is…
