Cosmology with Persistent Homology: a Fisher Forecast

Jacky H. T. Yip, Matteo Biagetti, Alex Cole +2

Persistent homology naturally addresses the multi-scale topological characteristics of the large-scale structure as a distribution of clusters, loops, and voids. We apply this tool…

Constraining the X-ray heating and reionization using 21-cm power spectra with Marginal Neural Ratio Estimation

Anchal Saxena, Alex Cole, Simon Gazagnes +3

Cosmic Dawn (CD) and Epoch of Reionization (EoR) are epochs of the Universe which host invaluable information about the cosmology and astrophysics of X-ray heating and hydrogen rei…

Fisher Forecasts for Primordial non-Gaussianity from Persistent Homology

Matteo Biagetti, Juan Calles, Lina Castiblanco +2

We study the information content of summary statistics built from the multi-scale topology of large-scale structures on primordial non-Gaussianity of the local and equilateral type…

Probing the Structure of String Theory Vacua with Genetic Algorithms and Reinforcement Learning

Alex Cole, Sven Krippendorf, Andreas Schachner +1

Identifying string theory vacua with desired physical properties at low energies requires searching through high-dimensional solution spaces - collectively referred to as the strin…

Fast and Credible Likelihood-Free Cosmology with Truncated Marginal Neural Ratio Estimation

Alex Cole, Benjamin Kurt Miller, Samuel J. Witte +4

Sampling-based inference techniques are central to modern cosmological data analysis; these methods, however, scale poorly with dimensionality and typically require approximate or…

EuCAPT White Paper: Opportunities and Challenges for Theoretical Astroparticle Physics in the Next Decade

R. Alves Batista, M. A. Amin, G. Barenboim +134

Astroparticle physics is undergoing a profound transformation, due to a series of extraordinary new results, such as the discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos with IceCube, the…
