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…

We present analysis of two- and three-point correlation functions of Ly$\alpha$ forest (at $2\le z\le 2.5$) using X-Shooter spectra of three background quasar triplets probing transverse separations of 0.5-1.6 pMpc. We present statistics…

We use high resolution PM N-body simulations to follow the development of non-linear clustering in a flat Universe, dominated by Cold + Hot Dark Matter (CHDM) with 60% of CDM, 30% of HDM and 10% of baryons; a simulation box of 100 Mpc a…

We present new measurements of the redshift-space three-point correlation function (3PCF) of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using the largest dataset to date, the Data Release 7 (DR7) LRGs, and an…

The zeroth-order component of the cosine expansion of the projected three-point correlation function is proposed for clustering analysis of cosmic large scale structure. These functions are third order statistics but can be measured…

We present the integrated 3-point shear correlation function $i\zeta_{\pm}$ -- a higher-order statistic of the cosmic shear field -- which can be directly estimated in wide-area weak lensing surveys without measuring the full 3-point shear…

We analyse parallel N-body simulations of three Cold Dark Matter (CDM) universes to study the abundance and clustering of galaxy clusters. The simulations cover a volume comparable to the forthcoming SDSS. We are able to make robust…

Large redshift surveys of galaxies and clusters are providing the first opportunities to search for distortions in the observed pattern of large-scale structure due to such effects as gravitational redshift. We focus on non-linear scales…

The 3-Point Correlation Function (3PCF), which measures correlations between triplets of galaxies encodes information about peculiar velocities, which distort the observed positions of galaxies along the line of sight away from their true…

In this article, we demonstrate how a 3-point correlation function can capture the out-of-time-ordered features of a higher point correlation function, in the context of a conformal field theory (CFT) with a boundary, in two dimensions. Our…

The shapes of galaxy N-point correlation functions can be used as standard rulers to constrain the distance-redshift relationship and thence the expansion rate of the Universe. The cosmological density fields traced by late-time galaxy…

We present a new pipeline designed for the robust inference of cosmological parameters using both second- and third-order shear statistics. We build a theoretical model for rapid evaluation of three-point correlations using our fastnc code…

We present measurements of the normalised redshift-space three-point correlation function (Q_z) of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample. We have applied our "npt" algorithm to both a volume-limited (36738…

We introduce the concept of multi-point propagators between linear cosmic fields and their nonlinear counterparts in the context of cosmological perturbation theory. Such functions express how a non-linearly evolved Fourier mode depends on…

We calculate planar, tree-level, non-extremal three-point functions of operators belonging to the SU(2) x SU(2) sector of ABJM theory. First, we generalize the determinant representation, found by Foda for the three-point functions of the…

We compare reduced three-point correlations $Q$ of matter, haloes (as proxies for galaxies) and their cross correlations, measured in a total simulated volume of $\sim100 \ (h^{-1} \text{Gpc})^{3}$, to predictions from leading order…

We perform Monte Carlo calculation of correlation functions in 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R*S^3 in the planar limit. In order to circumvent the well-known problem of lattice SUSY, we adopt the idea of a novel large-N reduction, which…

We present the first application of the angle-dependent 3-Point Correlation Function (3PCF) to the density fields magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence simulations intended to model interstellar (ISM) turbulence. Previous work has…

The nature of dark energy and the complete theory of gravity are two central questions currently facing cosmology. A vital tool for addressing them is the 3-point correlation function (3PCF), which probes deviations from a spatially random…

One possible way to investigate the nature of the primordial power spectrum fluctuations is by investigating the statistical properties of the local maximum in the density fluctuation fields. In this work we present a study of the mean…
