Probing primordial non-Gaussianity by reconstructing the initial conditions
read the original abstract
We propose to constrain the primordial (local-type) non-Gaussianity signal by first reconstructing the initial density field to remove the late time non-Gaussianities introduced by gravitational evolution. Our reconstruction algorithm combines perturbation theory on large scales with a convolutional neural network on small scales. We reconstruct the squared potential (that sources the non-Gaussian signal) out to $k=0.2\ h$/Mpc to an accuracy of 99.8%. We cross-correlate this squared potential field with the reconstructed density field and verify that this computationally inexpensive estimator has the same information content as the full matter bispectrum. As a proof of concept, our approach can yield up to a factor of three improvement in the $f_{\rm NL}$ constraints, although it does not yet include the complications of galaxy bias or imperfections in the reconstruction. These potential improvements make it a promising alternative to current approaches to constraining primordial non-Gaussianity.

First full-shape joint analysis of the two- and three-point correlation functions on real data: $\Lambda$CDM cosmological constraints from BOSS DR12
First joint 2PCF+3PCF full-shape analysis on BOSS DR12 real data improves σ(h) by ~29%, σ(ω_cdm) by ~10%, and σ(A_s) by ~24% over 2PCF alone via extra BAO information in 3PCF triangles.

Wedge-avoidance Fisher Forecasts for Primordial Non-Gaussianity from Dark-Ages 21-cm Power Spectrum and Bispectrum
A wedge-aware Fisher framework is introduced to forecast PNG constraints from Dark Ages 21-cm power spectrum and bispectrum, demonstrating significantly weaker bounds due to mode loss in two oscillatory inflation models.
