Abstract

We employ the formalism of the effective field theory of inflation to study the effects of a sudden change in the speed of sound of the inflationary perturbations. Such an event generates a feature with high frequency oscillations both in the two-and in the three-point functions of the curvature fluctuations. We study, at first order in the magnitude of the change of the speed of sound, the dependence of the power spectrum and of the bispectrum on the duration of the change. In the limit of a very short duration, the oscillations in the power spectrum persist up to very large momenta and the amplitude of the feature in the bispectrum diverges while its location moves to increasing momenta.

Heart sound classification based on bispectrum features and Vision Transformer mode

Zeye Liu, Hong Jiang, Fengwen Zhang, Wenbin Ouyang, Xiaofei Li, Xiangbin Pan

Summary: In regions with limited resources and moderate incomes, precise classification of heart sounds using deep learning algorithms is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). A new model is presented in this paradigm-shifting article, which combines bispectrum-inspired feature extraction and the cutting-edge Vision Transformer (ViT) model to achieve binary classification of heart sounds as 'normal' or 'abnormal'. The model demonstrates adept classification performance, surpassing even seasoned cardiologists, offering hope for the future of cardiac care where advanced algorithms can unlock the secrets of heart sounds.

Two-loop bispectrum of large-scale structure

Tobias Baldauf, Mathias Garny, Petter Taule, Theo Steele

Summary: In this work, a two-loop perturbative description of the bispectrum within an effective field theory (EFT) framework is presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of EFT parameters in absorbing UV sensitivity of two-loop contributions. The study shows good agreement with N-body simulations, with two-loop contributions becoming relevant at k approximate to 0.07h Mpc(-1), and percent-level agreement extending from 0.08 to 0.15h Mpc(-1) from one to two loops at z = 0.

Local primordial non-Gaussianity in the relativistic galaxy bispectrum

Roy Maartens, Sheean Jolicoeur, Obinna Umeh, Eline M. De Weerd, Chris Clarkson

Summary: Next-generation galaxy and 21cm intensity mapping surveys will rely on high-precision measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity using a combination of power spectrum and bispectrum. Theoretical precision at the same level is essential for these measurements. Incorporating a consistent general relativistic model of galaxy bias at second order extends the theoretical understanding of the galaxy bispectrum. The influence of primordial non-Gaussianity on the bispectrum goes beyond galaxy bias and dark matter density, and includes effects from redshift-space distortions.

Detecting the relativistic bispectrum in 21cm intensity maps

Sheean Jolicoeur, Roy Maartens, Eline M. De Weerd, Obinna Umeh, Chris Clarkson, Stefano Camera

Summary: The study investigates the detectability of first-order relativistic effects in future 21cm intensity mapping surveys, finding that the imaginary contribution of the relativistic signal in the bispectrum increases the detection possibility, albeit typically with a lower signal-to-noise compared to Hα galaxy surveys, due to foreground and telescope beam effects.

Complexity of non-trivial sound speed in inflation

Lei-Hua Liu, Ai -Chen Li

Summary: This study investigated the impact of non-trivial sound speed on the inflationary period in a quantum system, finding that greater sound speed deviation leads to faster inflation behavior, and larger xi values result in lagging scrambling time.

Model-independent approach to effective sound speed in multi-field inflation

Antonio Enea Romano, Krzysztof Turzynski, Sergio Andres Vallejo-Pena

Summary: In this study, the relationship between comoving curvature perturbations and the momentum-dependent effective sound speed in physical systems satisfying the Einstein's equations is investigated. A general model-independent formula for the effective sound speed is derived using the components of the total energy-stress tensor. By applying it to two-field models, it is shown that the momentum-dependent effective sound speed fully accounts for the predictions for the power spectrum of curvature perturbations. These results highlight the importance of the momentum-dependent effective sound speed in describing both single-field effective theories in inflationary models and the effects of entropy perturbations in multi-field systems.

Precision analysis of the redshift-space galaxy bispectrum

Mikhail M. Ivanov, Oliver H. E. Philcox, Takahiro Nishimichi, Marko Simonovic, Masahiro Takada, Matias Zaldarriaga

Summary: We study the information content of the angle-averaged redshift space galaxy bispectrum using a systematic tree-level perturbation theory model. We find that our model is valid for a specific range of wave numbers and that including the bispectrum monopole improves constraints on cosmological parameters.

Not a short-run noise! The low-frequency volatility of energy inflation

Michele Andreani, Federico Giri

Summary: This paper aims to assess the low-frequency dynamics of energy inflation's volatility across a sample of six OECD advanced countries. The traditional argument attributes a transitory effect to energy inflation putting less attention on the longer-term economic consequences. Using the wavelet power spectrum, we provide evidence that most of energy inflation volatility is mainly concentrated at the frequency bands between approximately 1.5 to 5.5 years. Potentially, this result can have nontrivial consequences on how monetary policy should face changes in energy prices.

Joint analysis of anisotropic power spectrum, bispectrum and trispectrum: application to N-body simulations

Davide Gualdi, Hector Gil-Marin, Licia Verde

Summary: This study conducts a joint analysis of monopole and quadrupoles for power spectrum, bispectrum, and integrated trispectrum from redshift space matter field in N-body simulations. It demonstrates the complementarity of bispectrum and i-trispectrum in constraining key cosmological parameters, providing smaller credible regions compared to traditional power spectrum and bispectrum analyses.

Cosmological constraints from the power spectrum and bispectrum of 21cm intensity maps

Dionysios Karagiannis, Roy Maartens, Liantsoa F. Randrianjanahary

Summary: The 21cm emission of neutral hydrogen can be used as a probe to study the matter distribution in the Universe after reionisation. This study presents the first forecasts of the cosmological constraints from the combination of the 21cm power spectrum and bispectrum. Results show that HIRAX and SKAO experiments have different constraining powers on various cosmological parameters, BAO distance functions, and the growth function.

Multi-scale perturbation theory II: Solutions and leading-order bispectrum in the Lambda CDM universe

Christopher S. Gallagher, Timothy Clifton, Chris Clarkson

Summary: Two-parameter perturbation theory is a framework designed to study the relativistic gravitational effects of small-scale nonlinear structures on the large-scale properties of the Universe. The approach in this paper uses Newtonian perturbation theory to model the gravitational fields of quasi-nonlinear structures and then applies them as source terms for large-scale cosmological perturbations. This work represents a first step towards deploying a formalism that can simultaneously model the weak gravitational fields of both linear and nonlinear structures in a realistic model of the Universe.

Determining the Hubble constant without the sound horizon: A 3.6% constraint on H0 from galaxy surveys, CMB lensing, and supernovae

Oliver H. E. Philcox, Gerrit S. Farren, Blake D. Sherwin, Eric J. Baxter, Dillon J. Brout

Summary: This study presents the tightest constraints on the sound horizon and the horizon scale at matter-radiation equality, providing measurements of H-0. By combining data from BOSS galaxy power spectra, Planck CMB lensing, and PANTHEON+ supernova constraints, the study obtained the most precise limits on H-0.

Summary: The scale-dependent bias effect is a promising way to study the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL), but our limited knowledge of the linear PNG galaxy bias parameter b(phi) currently prevents us from accurately constraining f(NL).
