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.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Joint analysis of LVK standard sirens and DES 3x2pt data yields H0 = 67.9 +4.4/-4.3 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1} at 6.4% precision while tightening the Omega_m constraint by 22%.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Multifidelity simulation-based inference enables accurate field-level weak lensing cosmology with 60-100 high-fidelity N-body simulations via pre-training on log-normal mocks.

  7. Floquet Dissipative Phase Transitions

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  9. Modeling nonlinear scales for dynamical dark energy cosmologies with COLA

    astro-ph.CO 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    COLA-based hybrid emulator reproduces nonlinear power spectrum boosts in w0wa models to <2% error vs EuclidEmulator2 and produces <0.3σ shifts in LSST-like cosmic shear parameter constraints.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

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

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5

    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.

  12. Revisiting the 'Lensing is Low' Problem with UNIONS

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New UNIONS galaxy-galaxy lensing data around CMASS galaxies indicates no significant lensing is low problem, with joint HOD fits to GGL and GC favoring a slightly lower matter power spectrum amplitude than Planck.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A minimal bias model yields unbiased LambdaCDM constraints up to k_max=0.7 h/Mpc but biases neutrino mass estimates, while higher-order bias mimics baryonic suppression in LSST 3x2pt analyses using the new MGL pipeline.

  14. Quintom Model Perturbations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A two-field quintom model reproduces w0waCDM perturbation features and is mildly favored over it in Bayesian fits to BAO, CMB, and SNIa data.
