Upcoming galaxy surveys will allow us to probe the growth of the cosmic large-scale structure with improved sensitivity compared to current missions, and will also map larger areas of the sky. This means that in addition to the increased…
Second order perturbation theory predicts a specific dependence of the bispectrum, or three-point correlation function in the Fourier transform domain, on the shape of the configuration of its three wave vector arguments, which can be taken…

Spectroscopic redshift errors, including redshift uncertainty and catastrophic failures, can bias cosmological measurements from galaxy redshift surveys at sub-percent level. In this work, we investigate their impact on the full-shape…
Forthcoming galaxy surveys will provide measurements of galaxy clustering with an unprecedented level of precision, that will require comparably good accuracy. Current models for galaxy correlations rely on approximations and idealizations…
The position-dependent power spectrum has been recently proposed as a descriptor of gravitationally induced non-Gaussianity in galaxy clustering, as it is sensitive to the "soft limit" of the bispectrum (i.e. when one of the wave number…
The three-point correlation function (3PCF) can now be measured in large galaxy redshift surveys, but in three dimensions its interpretation is complicated by the presence of redshift-space distortions. I investigate the projected 3PCF,…

The line-of-sight peculiar velocities of galaxies contribute to their observed redshifts, breaking the translational invariance of galaxy clustering down to a rotational invariance around the observer. This becomes important when the…
