We present a systematic study of galaxy biasing in the presence of primordial non-Gaussianity. For a large class of non-Gaussian initial conditions, we define a general bias expansion and prove that it is closed under renormalization,…

Rendering 3D surfaces has been revolutionized within the modeling of radiance fields through either 3DGS or NeRF. Although 3DGS has shown advantages over NeRF in terms of rendering quality or speed, there is still room for improvement in…

Recent studies have demonstrated that {\em secondary} non-Gaussianity induced by gravity will be detected with a high signal-to-noise (S/N) by future and even by on-going weak lensing surveys. One way to characterise such non-Gaussianity is…
