Upcoming galaxy redshift surveys are expected to improve limits on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) through measurements in Fourier space. A Monte-Carlo Markov Chain analysis was performed to confront perturbation theory predictions with N-body simulations, focusing on the local model of PNG parameterized by f(NL). Informative priors on the linear non-Gaussian bias parameter can significantly improve constraints on f(NL) in statistical inference.
Upcoming galaxy redshift surveys promise to significantly improve current limits on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) through measurements of 2- and 3-point correlation functions in Fourier space. However, realizing the full potential of this dataset is contingent upon having both accurate theoretical models and optimized analysis methods. Focusing on the local model of PNG, parameterized by f(NL), we perform a Monte-Carlo Markov Chain analysis to confront perturbation theory predictions of the halo power spectrum and bispectrum in real space against a suite of N-body simulations. We model the halo bispectrum at tree-level, including all contributions linear and quadratic in f(NL), and the halo power spectrum at 1-loop, including tree-level terms up to quadratic order in f(NL) and all loops induced by local PNG linear in f(NL). Keeping the cosmological parameters fixed, we examine the effect of informative priors on the linear non-Gaussian bias parameter on the statistical inference of N-f(L). A conservative analysis of the combined power spectrum and bispectrum, in which only loose priors are imposed and all parameters are marginalized over, can improve the constraint on f(NL) by more than a factor of 5 relative to the power spectrum-only measurement. Imposing a strong prior on b(phi), or assuming bias relations for both b(phi a)nd b(phi delta) (motivated by a universal mass function assumption), improves the constraints further by a factor of few. In this case, however, we find a significant systemati shift in the inferred value of f(NL) if the same range of wavenumber is used. Likewise, a Poisson noise assumption can lead to significant systematics, and it is thus essential to leave all the stochastic amplitudes free.

Fisher forecasts for primordial non-Gaussianity from persistent homology

Matteo Biagetti, Juan Calles, Lina Castiblanco, Alex Cole, Jorge Norena

Summary: In this study, we investigate the information content of summary statistics constructed from the multi-scale topology of large-scale structures on the primordial non-Gaussianity of the local and equilateral type. By using halo catalogs derived from numerical simulations, we find that the uncertainties in redshift space are relatively small and are weakly affected by redshift errors.

The covariance of squeezed bispectrum configurations

Matteo Biagetti, Lina Castiblanco, Jorge Norena, Emiliano Sefusatti

Summary: The study of the halo bispectrum covariance shows a significant correlation between squeezed halo bispectrum configurations and the long-wavelength halo power spectrum. The diagonal Gaussian contribution fails to accurately describe the full covariance in these cases. The inclusion of non-Gaussian terms for squeezed configurations greatly improves the agreement between the numerical estimate and the model.

Kevin Pardede, Federico Rizzo, Matteo Biagetti, Emanuele Castorina, Emiliano Sefusatti, Pierluigi Monaco

Summary: A method to perform exact convolution of the model prediction for bispectrum multipoles in redshift space with the survey window function is presented. By extending a widely applied method for power spectrum convolution to bispectrum and utilizing a 2D-FFTlog algorithm, accurate results are obtained.

Window function convolution with deep neural network models

D. Alkhanishvili, C. Porciani, E. Sefusatti

Summary: Traditional estimators of the galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum are biased due to the survey geometry and window function convolution. To address this issue, a deep neural network model was built to accurately model the effect of the window function. The network provides fast and accurate predictions for power spectra and bispectra, with an accuracy of better than 0.1% within a timescale of 10 μs.

Summary: The Euclid Space Telescope will provide deep imaging and spectroscopy across a large area of the sky, enabling the detection of billions of astronomical sources. To analyze this vast dataset, a novel machine-learning-based methodology called ARIADNE pipeline has been developed. This pipeline combines multiple learning methods to achieve higher accuracy in classifying quiescent galaxies and deriving photometric redshifts.

Fitting covariance matrix models to simulations

Alessandra Fumagalli, Matteo Biagetti, Alex Saro, Emiliano Sefusatti, Anze Slosar, Pierluigi Monaco, Alfonso Veropalumbo

Summary: In cosmological data analysis, reliable covariance matrices are required, which often necessitate a large number of simulations for accuracy. However, when a theoretical model for the covariance matrix exists, fewer simulations can be used to fit the model parameters. This study presents a likelihood-based method for such fitting and tests the model covariance matrix by examining the appropriate X-2 distributions from simulations. By combining these steps, reliable covariances can be produced without a large number of simulations.

Summary: Euclid's photometric galaxy cluster survey has the potential to be a strong cosmological probe. A new calibration of the halo mass function for accurate recovery of cosmological parameters from Euclid cluster counts is presented. The calibration is based on N-body simulations and takes into account systematic errors arising from numerical effects. The results demonstrate a sub-percent accuracy in reproducing results from various cosmological models, except for the effect of the halo finder algorithm which could lead to biased cosmological inference.

High-redshift JWST Observations and Primordial Non-Gaussianity

Matteo Biagetti, Gabriele Franciolini, Antonio Riotto

Summary: Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has observed several bright and massive galaxy candidates at high redshifts. These early massive galaxies appear to be challenging to explain based on predictions from the standard cold dark matter model. We investigate how introducing primordial non-Gaussianity in the initial conditions of cosmological perturbations can potentially explain these observed massive galaxy candidates.

Cosmological information in skew spectra of biased tracers in redshift space

Jiamin Hou, Azadeh Moradinezhad Dizgah, ChangHoon Hahn, Elena Massara

Summary: Extracting non-Gaussian information from higher-order clustering statistics is crucial for upcoming galaxy surveys. We investigate the information content of redshift-space weighted skew spectra and show that they significantly improve parameter constraints compared to power spectrum multipoles. Additionally, we find that skew spectra provide competitive constraints compared to bispectrum monopole and outperform it for all cosmological parameters.

Cosmological Information in the Marked Power Spectrum of the Galaxy Field

Elena Massara, Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro, ChangHoon Hahn, Muntazir M. Abidi, Michael Eickenberg, Shirley Ho, Pablo Lemos, Azadeh Moradinezhad Dizgah, Bruno Regaldo-Saint Blancard

Summary: Marked power spectra are two-point statistics of a marked field obtained by weighting each location with a function that depends on the local density around that point. We consider marked power spectra of the galaxy field in redshift space that up-weight low-density regions, and we perform a Fisher matrix analysis to assess the information content of this type of statistics using the Molino mock catalogs built on the Quijote simulations. Our results show that each of the four marked power spectra can tighten the standard power spectrum constraints on the cosmological parameters by 15%-25% and on σ(8) by a factor of 2. When combining the standard and four marked power spectra, the improvement in the power spectrum constraints is equal to a factor of 6 for σ(8) and a factor of 2.5-3 for the other parameters.

Fisher forecasts for primordial non-Gaussianity from persistent homology

Matteo Biagetti, Juan Calles, Lina Castiblanco, Alex Cole, Jorge Norena

Summary: This study investigates the impact of summary statistics built from multi-scale topology of large-scale structures on the information content of local and equilateral primordial non-Gaussianity. By using halo catalogs as a proxy for observed galaxies and considering realistic scenarios in redshift space, the reliability of this approach is assessed through various tests. The results show weak sensitivity of the constraints to redshift errors.
