abstract

Extracting non-Gaussian information from the non-linear regime of structure formation is key to fully exploiting the rich data from upcoming cosmological surveys probing the large-scale structure of the universe. However, due to theoretical and computational complexities, this remains one of the main challenges in analyzing observational data. We present a set of summary statistics for cosmological matter fields based on 3D wavelets to tackle this challenge. These statistics are computed as the spatial average of the complex modulus of the 3D wavelet transform raised to a power $q$ and are therefore known as invariant wavelet moments. The 3D wavelets are constructed to be radially band-limited and separable on a spherical polar grid and come in three types: isotropic, oriented, and harmonic. In the Fisher forecast framework, we evaluate the performance of these summary statistics on matter fields from the Quijote suite, where they are shown to reach state-of-the-art parameter constraints on the base $\Lambda$CDM parameters, as well as the sum of neutrino masses. We show that we can improve constraints by a factor 5 to 10 in all parameters with respect to the power spectrum baseline.

  1. Learning Cosmology from Nearest Neighbour Statistics

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

    Nearest-neighbour distance maps, combined with kNN-CDFs in a hybrid neural network, constrain Ωm and σ8 from Quijote halos with R2=0.80 and 0.93, matching or beating point-cloud methods at a fraction of the compute.

  2. Renormalized Perturbation Theory at Field-level: the LSS bootstrap in GridSPT

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A renormalized field-level perturbation theory is shown to recover the LSS bootstrap parameter consistently across different grid cutoffs, validated at third and fifth order against N-body simulations.

  3. Cosmology with Topological Deep Learning

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Topological neural networks using tetrahedra, clusters and hyperedges built from halo catalogs lower inference error on Omega_m by 22% and on sigma_8 by up to 60% versus graph neural networks on Quijote.

  4. Mitigating Model Misspecification in Simulation-Based Inference for Galaxy Clustering

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A two-step method (coefficient pruning plus learned robust transformation) fixes model misspecification in the SimBIG wavelet-scattering analysis of BOSS galaxy clustering and produces tight Lambda-CDM constraints.
