abstract

This paper details the modeling pipeline and validates the baseline analysis choices of the DES Year 3 joint analysis of galaxy clustering and weak lensing (a so-called "3$\times$2pt" analysis). These analysis choices include the specific combination of cosmological probes, priors on cosmological and systematics parameters, model parameterizations for systematic effects and related approximations, and angular scales where the model assumptions are validated. We run a large number of simulated likelihood analyses using synthetic data vectors to test the robustness of our baseline analysis. We demonstrate that the DES Year 3 modeling pipeline, including the calibrated scale cuts, is sufficiently accurate relative to the constraining power of the DES Year 3 analyses. Our systematics mitigation strategy accounts for astrophysical systematics, such as galaxy bias, intrinsic alignments, source and lens magnification, baryonic effects, and source clustering, as well as for uncertainties in modeling the matter power spectrum, reduced shear, and estimator effects. We further demonstrate excellent agreement between two independently-developed modeling pipelines, and thus rule out any residual uncertainties due to the numerical implementation.

  1. Primordial Physics in the Nonlinear Universe: Revealing the oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider models

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A binning-based IC method yields the first N-body measurements of oscillating halo bias from cosmological collider bispectra, with mass- and assembly-dependent phases fit by peak-background-split theory.

  2. 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.

  3. Full calibration of the tomographic redshift distribution from the HSC PDR3 Shape Catalog with DESI

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

    Clustering redshifts with DESI DR1/DR2 calibrate all four HSC Y3 tomographic bins; bins 3 and 4 shift to higher redshift (dz3=-0.039, dz4=-0.048) but less than cosmic shear analyses implied.

  4. The simple way to measure evolving dark energy without prior-volume effects

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Absorbing the AP and growth amplitudes into EFTofLSS nuisance parameters removes prior-volume shifts and yields Stage III LSS-only evolving dark energy constraints aligned with DESI.

  5. Cosmology from a joint analysis of second and third order shear statistics with Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 data

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

    The body is a DES-Y3 analysis showing a 111% figure-of-merit gain from adding aperture-mass skewness to two-point shear, but the abstract's HSC-Y3 headline numbers do not appear anywhere in the text.

  6. Debiasing inference in large-scale structure with non-flat volume measures

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

    A curvature-weighted, non-flat volume measure removes the leading-order marginalization bias in posterior means, recovering cosmological parameters in mocks to below 0.1 sigma.

  7. Forecasting the Impact of Source Galaxy Photometric Redshift Uncertainties on the LSST $3\times2$pt Analysis

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

    A Fisher forecast code for LSST 3x2pt and cosmic shear shows photo-z parameter marginalization inflates contours 2 to 6 times, and maps the most impactful photo-z parameters for each cosmological parameter.

  8. Growth, geometry, and early-universe split of the matter density parameter $\Omega_{\rm m}$

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Splitting Ω_m into geometry, growth, and early-universe regimes yields mutually compatible values, yet ΔΩ_m^{geo,early} is 2σ from zero under combined DES, Planck (scale-cut), DESI, Pantheon+, and RSD data.

  9. Modeling Redshift Uncertainties in Roman Weak Lensing Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A PCA-based redshift uncertainty model, implemented for Roman in CoCoA, matches or outperforms the nine-bin mean-shift model at mitigating S8 and Omega_m biases in simulated cosmic shear analyses.
