The pith

M-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform deliver unbiased cosmological constraints from galaxy surveys without explicit bias modeling.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper develops R^wst as a statistic formed from m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform applied to galaxy distributions. This construction extracts non-Gaussian clustering information while reducing dependence on how galaxies trace the underlying density field. Simulation-based inference shows that R^wst returns unbiased limits on the matter density, fluctuation amplitude, spectral index, and dark energy equation of state. It also separates the usual degeneracy between matter density and fluctuation amplitude roughly twice as well as the standard two-point correlation function. Performance stays consistent when galaxy bias assumptions are varied, offering a route to control systematics in large surveys without detailed bias prescriptions.

Core claim

R^wst, a bias-robust statistic constructed from m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform, yields unbiased constraints on Ω_m, σ_8, n_s, and w_0. It improves the breaking of the Ω_m--σ_8 degeneracy by about a factor of two compared with 2PCF. Its constraining power remains stable across a broad range of tracer-bias scenarios, demonstrating that R^wst can mitigate bias-induced systematics without explicit bias modeling. The emulator trained on the Kun suite reaches percent-level accuracy, sufficient for expected Stage-IV uncertainties.

What carries the argument

R^wst, the statistic formed from m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform, which extracts higher-order correlations while remaining insensitive to tracer bias.

Load-bearing premise

The m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform remain insensitive to tracer bias for the full range of realistic galaxy populations.

What would settle it

A statistically significant shift in recovered values of Ω_m or σ_8 when R^wst is applied to galaxy mocks whose bias properties lie outside the range covered by the Kun and JiuTian simulation suites.

A central challenge in precision cosmology with galaxy surveys is to extract non-Gaussian information from large-scale structure while controlling systematic uncertainties such as tracer bias. Conventional clustering statistics, such as the two-point correlation function (2PCF), capture limited nonlinear information and typically require explicit bias modeling, which can introduce systematic errors if the adopted bias prescription is inaccurate. To address this problem, we introduce $R^{\rm wst}$, a bias-robust statistic constructed from $m$-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform (WST). Using simulation-based inference, we train a Gaussian-process-regression emulator on the \texttt{Kun} simulation suite and use \texttt{JiuTian} simulations for covariance estimation and validation. The emulator achieves percent-level accuracy, sufficient for the expected observational uncertainties. We show that $R^{\rm wst}$ yields unbiased constraints on $\Omega_m$, $\sigma_8$, $n_s$, and $w_0$, and improves the breaking of the $\Omega_m$--$\sigma_8$ degeneracy by about a factor of two compared with 2PCF. Its constraining power remains stable across a broad range of tracer-bias scenarios, demonstrating that $R^{\rm wst}$ can mitigate bias-induced systematics without explicit bias modeling. These results establish $R^{\rm wst}$ as a powerful and robust statistic for precision cosmology with Stage-IV surveys.

Referee Report

3 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper introduces R^wst, a bias-robust statistic formed from m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform (WST). Using simulation-based inference, a Gaussian-process emulator is trained on the Kun suite and validated with JiuTian simulations; the work claims that R^wst delivers unbiased constraints on Ω_m, σ_8, n_s and w_0, improves the Ω_m–σ_8 degeneracy breaking by a factor of approximately two relative to the 2PCF, and maintains constraining power across a range of tracer-bias scenarios without explicit bias modeling.

Significance. If the reported bias independence holds for realistic galaxy populations beyond the tested suites, the result would be significant for Stage-IV analyses: it would allow extraction of non-Gaussian information while sidestepping systematic errors from inaccurate bias prescriptions. The use of separate simulation suites for emulator training versus covariance/validation is a positive methodological feature that partially mitigates circularity.

major comments (3)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the central claim that m-mode ratios of the WST cancel tracer-bias dependence for arbitrary galaxy populations is supported only by empirical stability across HOD variations in the Kun and JiuTian suites; no analytic derivation is supplied showing why the ratio construction eliminates bias terms for a general bias operator b(δ). This is load-bearing for the assertion of unbiased constraints without explicit modeling.
  2. [Abstract] Abstract and validation sections: the statement that constraints remain unbiased and that degeneracy breaking improves by a factor of two is presented without reference to specific posterior bias metrics, coverage tests, or quantitative comparison of contour areas/Fisher information between R^wst and 2PCF; the percent-level emulator accuracy is noted but its propagation into the final error budget is not detailed.
  3. [Results] The robustness claim is tested only within the bias scenarios realized in the two simulation suites; if the cancellation is an artifact of those particular bias implementations rather than a structural property of the m-mode ratios, the unbiasedness would not necessarily extend to real Stage-IV data.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Methods] Notation for the m-mode ratios and the precise definition of R^wst should be introduced with an equation in the methods section for clarity.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions should explicitly state the bias scenarios (e.g., HOD parameter ranges) shown in each panel to allow readers to assess the breadth of the stability test.

This is load-bearing for the assertion of unbiased constraints without explicit modeling.

    Authors: We agree that the demonstration relies on empirical tests across HOD variations in the two suites rather than an analytic derivation for a general bias operator.

    Authors: We will update the abstract and validation sections to reference specific posterior bias metrics, coverage tests, and quantitative comparisons (contour areas) between R^wst and 2PCF. We will also add details on how emulator accuracy enters the final error budget. revision: yes

    Authors: The suites include a broad range of HOD variations. We will expand the results section to acknowledge that the tests are limited to these implementations while noting the consistency across them as evidence for a structural property, and suggest further validation for full Stage-IV applicability. revision: partial

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: bias robustness shown via empirical validation on independent simulation suites rather than by construction or self-citation.

full rationale

The paper defines R^wst explicitly as m-mode ratios of the wavelet scattering transform and validates its bias robustness and cosmological constraining power through simulation-based inference. Training occurs on the Kun suite while covariance and validation use the separate JiuTian suite, with direct recovery of input cosmological parameters (Ω_m, σ_8, n_s, w_0) serving as the test. No load-bearing step reduces a claimed prediction to a fitted parameter by definition, invokes a self-citation for uniqueness, or renames an input as output; the stability across HOD variations is an empirical result external to the statistic's construction. The chain is therefore self-contained against the simulation benchmarks.
