abstract

The effective field theory likelihood for the density field of biased tracers allows for cosmology inference from the clustering of galaxies that consistently uses all available information at a given order in perturbation theory. This paper presents results and implementation details on the real-space (as opposed to Fourier-space) formulation of the likelihood, which allows for the incorporation of survey window functions. The implementation further uses a Lagrangian forward model for biased tracers which automatically accounts for all relevant contributions up to any desired order. Unbiased inference of $\sigma_8$ is demonstrated at the 2% level for cutoff values $\Lambda \leq 0.14h\,{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ for halo samples over a range of masses and redshifts. The inferred value shows the expected convergence to the ground truth in the low-cutoff limit. Apart from the possibility of including observational effects, this represents further substantial improvement over previous results based on the EFT likelihood.

    Adding BOSS galaxy clustering with simulation-based priors modeled as Gaussian mixtures shifts the DESI plus CMB plus supernova constraints on dark energy toward a cosmological constant and improves the w0-wa figure o...

  3. Floquet Dissipative Phase Transitions

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dissipative phase transitions in Floquet open systems are defined through the Floquet propagator spectrum, with applications to driven Kerr resonators and the quantum Rabi model.

  4. Non-Gaussian Galaxy Stochasticity and the Noise-Field Formulation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Galaxy stochasticity in EFT of large-scale structure reduces to nonlinear couplings of one Gaussian noise field, yielding a samplable field-level likelihood that stabilizes the inferred noise amplitude.

  5. Equivalence of the field-level inference and conventional analyses on large scales

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A joint power spectrum, bispectrum and trispectrum analysis achieves the same precision on the density amplitude as field-level inference for halos on large scales.
