Curvature-Conditioned Measures for Cosmological Peak Statistics: A Transport-Geometric Framework

Tsutomu T. Takeuchi

We develop a transport-geometric theory of cosmological peak statistics based on optimal transport and entropy geometry. The density field is treated as a probability measure in Wa…

Selection--Clustering Coupling and Pair-Midpoint Anisotropy from Observer Motion

Tsutomu T. Takeuchi

Observer motion couples source selection, clustering, and estimator normalization in cosmological pair statistics. Existing calculations distinguish the source-count dipole from th…

Revisiting observational constraints on coupled exponential quintessence with energy and momentum transfers: degeneracy with massive neutrinos

Jose Beltrán Jiménez, Kiyotomo Ichiki, Xiaolin Liu +2

We investigate the impact of massive neutrinos on cosmological models in which dark energy, described by a quintessence scalar field with an exponential potential, interacts wi…

Wasserstein Distance in Cosmological Structure Formation: An Optimal Transport Perspective

Tsutomu T. Takeuchi

Cosmological large-scale structure is usually characterized by statistics such as the power spectrum and correlation function, which describe fluctuation amplitudes but not the spa…

A General Formulation of the Kinematic Dipole as a Functional of Selection and Source Properties: Beyond the Ellis--Baldwin Approximation

Tsutomu T. Takeuchi

The dipole anisotropy in galaxy and QSO number counts induced by the motion of the observer (the kinematic dipole) provides an important test of cosmological isotropy and a compari…

Wigner function shapelets: Symplectic representation of astronomical images

Shun Arai

We extend shapelets for the analysis of astronomical images to be available in a phase space, introducing \textit{Wigner function shapelets}(WFSs). Whereas conventional shapelets e…

Inflationary relics from an Ultra-Slow-Roll plateau

Albert Escrivà, Jaume Garriga, Shi Pi

We investigate the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) in inflationary scenarios featuring an ultra-slow-roll (USR) plateau with a sharp transition to slow roll. We focus on…

KiDS-Legacy: WIMP dark matter constraints from the cross-correlation of weak lensing and Fermi-LAT gamma rays

Shiyang Zhang, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ziang Yan +13

Dark matter dominates the matter content of the Universe, and its properties can be constrained through large-scale structure probes such as the cross-correlation between the unres…

Euclid: Galaxy SED reconstruction in the PHZ processing function: impact on the PSF and the role of medium-band filters

Euclid Collaboration, F. Tarsitano, C. Schreiber +301

Weak lensing surveys require accurate correction for the point spread function (PSF) when measuring galaxy shapes. For a diffraction-limited PSF, as arises in space-based missions,…

On the shape of pancakes: catastrophe theory and Gaussian statistics in 2D

Abineet Parichha, Stephane Colombi, Shohei Saga +1

Cold dark matter (CDM) can be thought of as a 2D (or 3D) sheet of particles in 4D (or 6D) phase-space due to its negligible velocity dispersion. The large-scale structure, also cal…
