In the current paradigm there is a non-trivial bias expected in the process of galaxy formation. Thus, the observed statistical properties of the galaxy distribution do not necessarily extend to the underlying matter distribution. Gravitational evolution of initially Gaussian seed fluctuations predicts that the connected moments of the matter fluctuations exhibit a hierarchical structure, at least in the limit of small dispersion. This same hierarchical structure has been found in the galaxy distribution, but it is not clear to what extent it reflects properties of the matter distribution or properties of a galaxy formation bias. In this paper we consider the consequences of an arbitrary, effectively local biasing transformation of a hierarchical underlying matter distribution. We show that a general form of such a transformation preserves the hierarchical properties and the shape of the dispersion in the limit of small fluctuations, i.e. on large scales, although the values of the

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Hermes/PyHermes reconstructs catalogues in a scaling-function basis and unifies CIC, 2PCF, 3PCF, marked, and operator-based cosmic statistics as reusable window operations with FFT/MPI/GPU scaling.

  3. One with HI: Modelling HI Intensity Mapping one-point statistics including systematics

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The HI one-point PDF, modelled with large-deviation statistics and validated against simulations including beam and foreground systematics, tightens cosmological constraints and breaks the sigma8-b1 degeneracy beyond ...

  4. Disentangling modified gravity and galaxy bias with field-level inference

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    With fixed known initial phases, voxel-by-voxel Poisson likelihood on the galaxy number-counts field breaks the f(R)–bias degeneracy that power spectra cannot resolve, with voids and walls driving the gain.

  5. Fast Graph-based Higher-Order Clustering Statistics on the GPU

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    GRAMSCI v2 replaces binary-search N-point enumeration with O(m) merge-walks, adds parity-decomposed and connected 4pCF, and ports the query engine to OpenACC GPUs with out-of-core tiling.

    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.

  7. Euclid preparation: Testing multi-field inflation with galaxy power spectrum and bispectrum

    Validates redshift-space power spectrum and bispectrum analysis on Abacus-PNG mocks to recover unbiased f_NL constraints for Euclid spectroscopic sample.

  8. Emergence of Complex Web Structures

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 4.5

    Spatial entropy can fall as webs form while phase-space entropy rises; anisotropy is cast as a free-energy order parameter that activates earlier for nonlocal tidal operators than for local curvature.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Coarse-grained spatial ordering can increase during structure formation even as full phase-space entropy grows through nonlocal transport, Jacobian-governed density amplification, and activation of lower free-energy b...

    N-body light-cone mocks show 2-4 sigma deviations in third-order angular clustering between LCDM and f(R)/nDGP models at z=0.15-0.3 for halos and galaxies, with stronger signals in the dark-matter field.
