abstract

We present $\texttt{Abacus}$, a fast and accurate cosmological $N$-body code based on a new method for calculating the gravitational potential from a static multipole mesh. The method analytically separates the near- and far-field forces, reducing the former to direct $1/r^2$ summation and the latter to a discrete convolution over multipoles. The method achieves 70 million particle updates per second per node of the Summit supercomputer, while maintaining a median fractional force error of $10^{-5}$. We express the simulation time step as an event-driven "pipeline", incorporating asynchronous events such as completion of co-processor work, Input/Output, and network communication. $\texttt{Abacus}$ has been used to produce the largest suite of $N$-body simulations to date, the $\texttt{AbacusSummit}$ suite of 60 trillion particles (Maksimova et al., 2021), incorporating on-the-fly halo finding. $\texttt{Abacus}$ enables the production of mock catalogs of the volume and resolution required by the coming generation of cosmological surveys.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DESI's first parity-violation search shows a strong auto-correlation signal that disappears when the sky is split into patches, pointing to underestimated mocks' variance rather than new physics.

    CMB lensing mass calibration of DESI galaxies, combined with kSZ gas profiles, measures gas fractions that reach the cosmic baryon fraction at large radii but drop to about 30 percent near the virial radius.
