abstract
Cosmological simulations play a crucial role in elucidating the effect of physical parameters on the statistics of fields and on constraining parameters given information on density fields. We leverage diffusion generative models to address two tasks of importance to cosmology -- as an emulator for cold dark matter density fields conditional on input cosmological parameters $\Omega_m$ and $\sigma_8$, and as a parameter inference model that can return constraints on the cosmological parameters of an input field. We show that the model is able to generate fields with power spectra that are consistent with those of the simulated target distribution, and capture the subtle effect of each parameter on modulations in the power spectrum. We additionally explore their utility as parameter inference models and find that we can obtain tight constraints on cosmological parameters.

Diffusion models recover accurate mixture weights despite score function insensitivity
Mixture-weight recovery errors in diffusion models are controlled by the curvature of the diffusion score-matching loss (the DSSI), not by the target score's sensitivity.

Variational autoencoder for generating realistic $N$-body simulations for dark matter halos
A convolutional VAE trained on projected dark matter density slices produces synthetic fields whose power spectra roughly match the training simulation at intermediate scales, with small-scale smoothing and validation...
