A Finely-Binned Measurement of the Connected Even-Parity Galaxy 4-Point Correlation Function of DESI Year 1 Luminous Red Galaxies

William Ortolá Leonard, Alex Krolewski, Zachary Slepian +46

We present the connected even-parity galaxy 4-Point Correlation Function (4PCF) of DESI Year 1 (Y1) Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). This is one of the first measurements of the conne…

First Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) Feature in the 3-Point Correlation Function of DESI DR1 Luminous Red Galaxies

Farshad Kamalinejad, Zachary Slepian, Alex Krolewski +55

We present the first detection of the 3-Point Correlation Function (3PCF) Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal from the DESI Data Release 1 (DR1) sample of Luminous Red Galaxie…

Harmony of the Spheres: Extension to All Points of an Algorithm for Producing a Density Field with Given Two-, Three-, and Four-Point Correlation Functions

Zcahary Slepian, Alessandro Greco

Previous work (Slepian 2024) showed that the Smith-Zaldarriaga (2011) algorithm to realize Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps with any desired harmonic-space bispectrum could b…

Measurement of Parity-Violating Modes of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Year 1 Luminous Red Galaxies' 4-Point Correlation Function

Zachary Slepian, Alex Krolewski, Alessandro Greco +38

Here we report the first measurement of the parity-violating (PV) 4-Point Correlation Function (4PCF) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's Year 1 Luminous Red Galaxy (DESI…

Power Spectrum, Bispectrum, 2- and 3-Point Correlation Function, and Beyond

Zachary Slepian, Farshad Kamalinejad, Alessandro Greco

N-Point Correlation Functions, usually with N = 2, 3, and their Fourier-space analogs power spectrum and bispectrum, are major tools used in cosmology to capture the clustering of…

CMB Lensing Trispectrum as a Probe of Parity Violation in LSS

Alessandro Greco, Zachary Slepian, Jiamin Hou +1

We show that the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing trispectrum is sensitive to parity violation in Large-Scale Structure (LSS). We obtain a compact expression for the reduc…

Analytic Model for Covariance Matrices of the 2-, 3-, and 4-Point Correlation Functions in the Gaussian Random Field Approximation

Jessica Chellino, Alessandro Greco, Simon May +1

Analyses of the galaxy N-Point Correlation Functions (NPCFs) have a large number of degrees of freedom, meaning one cannot directly estimate an invertible covariance matrix purely…

First Measurements of the 4-Point Correlation Function of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence as a Novel Probe of the Interstellar Medium

Victoria Williamson, James Sunseri, Zachary Slepian +2

In the Interstellar Medium (ISM), gas and dust evolve under magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This produces dense, non-linear structures that then seed star formation. Observat…

Full Parity-Violating Trispectrum in Axion Inflation: Reduction to Low-D Integrals

Matthew Reinhard, Zachary Slepian, Jiamin Hou +1

Recent measurements of the galaxy 4-Point Correlation Function (4PCF) have seemingly detected non-zero parity-odd modes at high significance. Since gravity, the primary driver of g…

On a Generating Function for the Isotropic Basis Functions and Other Connected Results

Zachary Slepian, Jessica Chellino, Jiamin Hou

Recently isotropic basis functions of unit vector arguments were presented; these are of significant use in measuring the N-Point Correlation Functions (NPCFs) of galaxy cluste…

Ray-tracing vs. Born approximation in full-sky weak lensing simulations of the MillenniumTNG project

Fulvio Ferlito, Christopher T. Davies, Volker Springel +7

Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for precision tests of cosmology. As the expected deflection angles are small, predictions based on non-linear N-body simulations are…
