abstract
We present an algorithm that computes the multipole coefficients of the galaxy three-point correlation function (3PCF) without explicitly considering triplets of galaxies. Rather, centering on each galaxy in the survey, it expands the radially-binned density field in spherical harmonics and combines these to form the multipoles without ever requiring the relative angle between a pair about the central. This approach scales with number and number density in the same way as the two-point correlation function, allowing runtimes that are comparable, and 500 times faster than a naive triplet count. It is exact in angle and easily handles edge correction. We demonstrate the algorithm on the LasDamas SDSS-DR7 mock catalogs, computing an edge corrected 3PCF out to $90\;{\rm Mpc}/h$ in under an hour on modest computing resources. We expect this algorithm will render it possible to obtain the large-scale 3PCF for upcoming surveys such as Euclid, LSST, and DESI.

Novel implementation of anisotropic 3PCF model and estimator tested on 298 halo catalogs shows degeneracy breaking between f and b1 in 3PCF-only analysis but limited added value in joint 2PCF+3PCF due to tree-level model shortcomings on small scales.
