We present an application of Large Deviation Theory to the problem of structure growth on large-scale structure cosmology. Starting from gaussian distributed overdensities on concentric spherical shells, we show that a Large Deviation Principle holds for the densities on the corresponding shells after gravitational evolution if no shell-crossing happens. As consequences of the Large Deviation Principle we obtain the cumulant generating function for the non-linear densities, and present formulae to compute the cumulant generating function for general window functions.

  1. Hermes - Towards an Optimal High-Performance Algorithm for Cosmic Statistics of Large Data Sets

    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.

  2. Large deviations for halos and voids: beyond perturbative non-gaussianities

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Excursion-set halo and void abundances are derived for exponential-tailed non-Gaussian fluctuations, giving new first-passage-time formulas and a void-size-function series.
