abstract
We discuss the dominant terms of the relativistic galaxy number counts to second order in cosmological perturbation theory on sub-Hubble scales and on intermediate to large redshifts. In particular, we determine their contribution to the bispectrum. In addition to the terms already known from Newtonian second order perturbation theory, we find that there are a series of additional `lensing-like' terms which contribute to the bispectrum. We derive analytical expressions for the full leading order bispectrum and we evaluate it numerically for different configurations, indicating how they can be measured with upcoming surveys. In particular, the new `lensing-like' terms are not negligible for wide redshift bins and even dominate the bispectrum at well separated redshifts. This offers us the possibility to measure them in future surveys.

The tree-level angular bispectrum in real and redshift space is expressed as sums of angular power spectra products, enabling an efficient and validated flat-sky approximation for unequal-time cases.
Updated SKAO-AA4 forecasts show multi-tracer HI+galaxy analyses can reach σ(f_local_NL)≲1 and improve αs bounds by tens of percent when combined with future CMB, while foregrounds and GR light-cone effects remain the main systematics.
