We assess the accuracy with which future galaxy surveys can measure cosmological parameters by deriving a handy approximation that we validate numerically. We find that galaxy surveys are quite complementary to future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. By breaking parameter degeneracies of the Planck CMB satellite in a cold dark matter cosmology, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey might be able to reduce the Planck error bars by about an order of magnitude on the large-scale power normalization and the reionization optical depth, down to percent levels. However, pinpointing attainable accuracies to within better than a factor of a few depends crucially on whether it will be possible to extract useful information from the mildly nonlinear regime.

  1. Augmented Correlation Functions for Spectroscopic Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Augmented correlation functions extend the two-point correlation function with latent dimensions derived from the galaxy field to isolate additional clustering information in spectroscopic surveys.

  2. Interlopers as Signal in Line Intensity Mapping

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

    Jointly modeling LIM interlopers as projected multi-redshift tracers often beats cleaning for Ω_m h² and BAO distances, yielding a transverse BAO ladder over 0.7≲z≲5.8 in SPHEREx/FYST forecasts.

  3. Neutrino masses from large-scale structures: future sensitivity and theory dependence

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Forecasted 1-sigma sensitivity to the sum of neutrino masses is 15 meV for Planck+DESI and 7 meV for CMB-S4+MegaMapper, with the one-loop bispectrum providing 10% and 30% of the constraining power.

  4. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity from Quaia

    astro-ph.CO 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Reports f_NL = -20.5^{+19.0}_{-18.1} (68% CL) from combined Quaia quasar auto-correlation and CMB lensing cross-correlation assuming p_phi=1, or -28.7^{+26.1}_{-24.6} for p_phi=1.6.

  5. Probing primordial non-Gaussianity by reconstructing the initial conditions

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Applying a hybrid reconstruction, then cross-correlating the squared potential with the density, yields a simulated f_NL forecast up to three times tighter than the unreconstructed bispectrum.

  6. Cosmology with HI Intensity Mapping

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    SKAO HI intensity mapping forecasts yield competitive LambdaCDM constraints (e.g. H0 to ~0.3 km/s/Mpc optimistic) via power spectrum, BAO, bispectrum and stacking, complementary to CMB and optical surveys.

  7. Galaxy formation in modified gravity -- II. galaxy halo connection and assembly bias

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Simulations in f(R) gravity show that environment density in the HOD model reduces assembly bias effects to 2-3% at z≲0.5 in both ΛCDM and modified gravity.

  8. MUltiplexed Survey Telescope (MUST) Science White Paper I: Overview of Large-Scale Structure Cosmology in the Era of Stage-V Spectroscopic Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.

  9. Constraining Scale-Dependent Growth in $f(R)$ Gravity with Future 21 cm Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Forecasts show that future 21 cm surveys can deliver moderate constraints on the scale-dependent growth index and HI bias in viable f(R) models.
