abstract

Understanding the universe in its pristine epoch is crucial in order to obtain a concise comprehension of the late-time universe. Although current data in cosmology are compatible with Gaussian primordial perturbations whose power spectrum follows a nearly scale-invariant power law, this need not be the case when a fundamental theoretical construction is assumed. These extended models lead to sharp features in the primordial power spectrum, breaking its scale invariance. In this work, we obtain combined constraints on four primordial feature models by using the final data release of the BOSS galaxies and eBOSS quasars. By pushing towards the fundamental mode of these surveys and using the larger eBOSS volume, we were able to extend the feature parameter space (i.e. the feature frequency $\omega$) by a factor of four compared to previous analyses using BOSS. While we did not detect any significant features, previous work showed that next-generation galaxy surveys such as DESI will improve the sensitivity to features by a factor of 7, and will also extend the parameter space by a factor of 2.5.

  1. Inverse-k Primordial Oscillations from a Symbolic Regression Search

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Symbolic regression on Planck and Planck+ACT+SPT independently selects an inverse-k primordial oscillation cos(B/k)≈cos(4/k) that weakly outperforms linear and log templates.

  2. Primordial power spectrum reconstructions from BOSS + eBOSS

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-parametric knot-based reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum P_R(k) from BOSS+eBOSS data up to k=0.3 h/Mpc favors a quasi-scale-invariant power law and constrains n_s = 0.976 ± 0.021 with no evidence for ...

  3. Primordial Sharp Features through the Nonlinear Regime of Structure Formation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Sharp primordial features survive nonlinear structure formation as localised bumps or dips in the matter power spectrum, while their oscillatory patterns are erased, leaving an oscillatory imprint in the halo mass function.

  4. Tightening constraints on primordial oscillations with latest ACT and SPT data

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

    Combining ACT DR6, SPT-3G D1, and Planck CMB data tightens the 95% upper limits on primordial oscillation amplitudes to about 0.029, with no significant signal.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    Updated SKAO-AA4 forecasts show multi-tracer HI+galaxy analyses can reach σ(f_local_NL)≲1 and improve αs bounds by tens of percent when combined with future CMB, while foregrounds and GR light-cone effects remain the ...
