Constraining Power of Wavelet vs. Power Spectrum Statistics for CMB Lensing and Weak Lensing with Learned Binning

Abstract

We present forecasts for constraints on the matter density (${\Omega }_m$) and the amplitude of matter density fluctuations at 8h${}^{-1}$Mpc (${\sigma }_8$) from CMB lensing convergence maps and galaxy weak lensing convergence maps. For CMB lensing convergence auto statistics, we compare the angular power spectra ($C_{\ell }$'s) to the wavelet scattering transform (WST) coefficients. For CMB lensing convergence $\times$ galaxy weak lensing convergence statistics, we compare the cross angular power spectra to wavelet phase harmonics (WPH). This work also serves as the first application of WST and WPH to these probes. For CMB lensing convergence, we find that WST and $C_{\ell }$'s yield similar constraints in forecasts for all surveys considered in this work. When CMB lensing convergence is crossed with galaxy weak lensing convergence projected from $\text{Euclid}$ Data Release 2 (DR2), we find that WPH outperforms cross-$C_{\ell }$'s by factors between $2.2$ and $3.4$ for individual parameter constraints. To compare these different summary statistics, we develop a novel learned binning approach. This method compresses summary statistics while maintaining interpretability. We find this leads to improved constraints compared to more naive binning schemes for our wavelet-based statistics, but not for $C_{\ell }$'s. By learning the binning and measuring constraints on distinct data sets, our method is robust to overfitting by construction.
