We study the information content of the angle-averaged (monopole) redshift space galaxy bispectrum. The main novelty of our approach is the use of a systematic tree-level perturbation theory model that includes galaxy bias, IR resummation, and also accounts for nonlinear redshift space distortions, binning, and projection effects. We analyze data from the PT challenge simulations, whose cumulative volume of 566 $h^{-3}$Gpc$^3$ allows for a precise comparison to theoretical predictions. Fitting the power spectrum and bispectrum of our simulated data, and varying all necessary cosmological and nuisance parameters in a consistent Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis, we find that our tree-level bispectrum model is valid up to $k_{\max}=0.08~h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ (at $z=0.61$). We also find that inclusion of the bispectrum monopole improves constraints on cosmological parameters by $(5-15)\%$ relative to the power spectrum. The improvement is more significant for the quadratic bias parameters of our simulated galaxies, which we also show to deviate from biases of the host dark matter halos at the $\sim 3\sigma$ level. Finally, we adjust the covariance and scale cuts to match the volume of the BOSS survey, and estimate that within the minimal $\Lambda$CDM model the bispectrum data can tighten the constraint on the mass fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8$ by roughly $10\%$.

  1. Searching for Folded Primordial Non-Gaussianity with Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    The galaxy bispectrum, not the power spectrum, is the main probe of folded primordial non-Gaussianity; narrow folded signals are washed out by Fourier-space binning.

  2. Galaxy Power Spectrum at Two-Loop Order: Implications for Weak Lensing Surveys and New Physics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Two-loop EFT galaxy power spectrum achieves per-mille agreement with simulations to k=0.85 h/Mpc and yields three times narrower unbiased σ8 errors than linear theory.

  3. Probing nonlinear structure formation beyond $\Lambda$CDM with the LSS bootstrap: a joint power spectrum and bispectrum analysis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First MCMC constraints on LSS bootstrap parameters yield ~7% precision on linear growth modifications and ~57% on quadratic kernel modifications from BOSS data, improving to 1% and 25% with larger simulations.

  4. Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UNIONS LBGs yield robust cross-power spectra with Planck CMB lensing and DESI/Quaia quasars at amplitudes matching theory, despite systematics that render the auto-spectrum unusable.

  5. Assessing the large-scale angular clustering of UNIONS Lyman Break Galaxies via cross-correlations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    UNIONS Lyman-break galaxy auto-clustering is unusable at large scales due to imaging systematics, but LBG x CMB-lensing and LBG x quasar cross-spectra are measured robustly, with amplitudes consistent with predictions.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Simulation-based priors applied to DESI DR1 full-shape data sharpen cosmological constraints (σ8 error halved) and yield Mν<0.090 eV in w0waCDM, but the results depend on HOD modeling assumptions.

    A combined-analysis of DESI galaxy clustering, CMB lensing, BAO, CMB, and supernovae yields percent-level Lambda-CDM parameters, improved dark-energy figure-of-merit, and neutrino-mass bounds that disfavor the inverte...

    In a controlled model with quadratic nonlinearity, field-level inference retains more parameter information than summaries up to 6-point functions as nonlinearity increases.
