We present the ensemble expectation values for the translation invariant, rank-2 Minkowski tensors in three-dimensions, for a linearly redshift space distorted Gaussian random field. The Minkowski tensors $W^{0,2}_{1}$, $W^{0,2}_{2}$ are sensitive to global anisotropic signals present within a field, and by extracting these statistics from the low redshift matter density one can place constraints on the redshift space distortion parameter $beta = f/b$. We begin by reviewing the calculation of the ensemble expectation values $langle W^{0,2}_{1} rangle$, $langle W^{0,2}_{2} rangle $ for isotropic, Gaussian random fields, then consider how these results are modified by the presence of a linearly anisotropic signal. Under the assumption that all fields remain Gaussian, we calculate the anisotropic correction due to redshift space distortion in a coordinate system aligned with the line of sight, finding inequality between the diagonal elements of $langle W^{0,2}_{1} rangle $, $langle W^{0,2}_{2} rangle $. The ratio of diagonal elements of these matrices provides a set of statistics that are sensitive only to the redshift space distortion parameter $beta$. We estimate the Fisher information that can be extracted from the Minkowski tensors, and find $W^{0,2}_{1}$ is more sensitive to $beta$ than $W^{0,2}_{2}$, and a measurement of $W^{0,2}_{1}$ accurate to $sim 1%$ can yield a $sim 4%$ constraint on $beta$. Finally, we discuss the difference between using the matrix elements of the Minkowski tensors directly against measuring the eigenvalues. For the purposes of cosmological parameter estimation we advocate the use of the matrix elements, to avoid spurious anisotropic signals that can be generated by the eigenvalue decomposition.

We apply the Minkowski tensor statistics to three dimensional Gaussian random fields. Minkowski tensors contain information regarding the orientation and shape of excursion sets, that is not present in the scalar Minkowski functionals. They can be used to quantify globally preferred directions, and additionally provide information on the mean shape of subsets of a field. This makes them ideal statistics to measure the anisotropic signal generated by redshift space distortion in the low redshift matter density field. We review the definition of the Minkowski tensor statistics in three dimensions, focusing on two coordinate invariant quantities $W^{0,2}_{1}$ and $W^{0,2}_{2}$. We calculate the ensemble average of these $3 times 3$ matrices for an isotropic Gaussian random field, finding that they are proportional to products of the identity matrix and a corresponding scalar Minkowski functional. We show how to numerically reconstruct $W^{0,2}_{1}$ and $W^{0,2}_{2}$ from discretely sampled fields and apply our algorithm to isotropic Gaussian fields generated from a linear $Lambda$CDM matter power spectrum. We then introduce anisotropy by applying a linear redshift space distortion operator to the matter density field, and find that both $W^{0,2}_{1}$ and $W^{0,2}_{2}$ exhibit a distinct signal characterised by inequality between their diagonal components. We discuss the physical origin of this signal and how it can be used to constrain the redshift space distortion parameter $Upsilon equiv f/b$.
We present a scheme for using stellar catalogues to map the three-dimensional distributions of extinction and dust within our Galaxy. Extinction is modelled as a Gaussian random field, whose covariance function is set by a simple physical model of the ISM that assumes a Kolmogorov-like power spectrum of turbulent fluctuations. As extinction is modelled as a random field, the spatial resolution of the resulting maps is set naturally by the data available; there is no need to impose any spatial binning. We verify the validity of our scheme by testing it on simulated extinction fields and show that its precision is significantly improved over previous dust-mapping efforts. The approach we describe here can make use of any photometric, spectroscopic or astrometric data; it is not limited to any particular survey. Consequently, it can be applied to a wide range of data from both existing and future surveys.
In this paper we consider a three dimensional Kropina space and obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes a minimal surfaces with the induced metric. Using this characterization equation we study various immersions of minimal surfaces. In particular, we obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that the plane is the only such surface.
In this paper, we seek analytically checkable necessary and sufficient condition for copositivity of a three-dimensional symmetric tensor. We first show that for a general third order three-dimensional symmetric tensor, this means to solve a quartic equation and some quadratic equations. All of them can be solved analytically. Thus, we present an analytical way to check copositivity of a third order three dimensional symmetric tensor. Then, we consider a model of vacuum stability for $mathbb{Z}_3$ scalar dark matter. This is a special fourth order three-dimensional symmetric tensor. We show that an analytically expressed necessary and sufficient condition for this model bounded from below can be given, by using a result given by Ulrich and Watson in 1994.
This work presents a new physically-motivated supervised machine learning method, Hydro-BAM, to reproduce the three-dimensional Lyman-$alpha$ forest field in real and in redshift space learning from a reference hydrodynamic simulation, thereby saving about 7 orders of magnitude in computing time. We show that our method is accurate up to $ksim1,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the one- (PDF), two- (power-spectra) and three-point (bi-spectra) statistics of the reconstructed fields. When compared to the reference simulation including redshift space distortions, our method achieves deviations of $lesssim2%$ up to $k=0.6,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the monopole, $lesssim5%$ up to $k=0.9,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the quadrupole. The bi-spectrum is well reproduced for triangle configurations with sides up to $k=0.8,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$. In contrast, the commonly-adopted Fluctuating Gunn-Peterson approximation shows significant deviations already neglecting peculiar motions at configurations with sides of $k=0.2-0.4,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ in the bi-spectrum, being also significantly less accurate in the power-spectrum (within 5$%$ up to $k=0.7,h,rm{Mpc}^{-1}$). We conclude that an accurate analysis of the Lyman-$alpha$ forest requires considering the complex baryonic thermodynamical large-scale structure relations. Our hierarchical domain specific machine learning method can efficiently exploit this and is ready to generate accurate Lyman-$alpha$ forest mock catalogues covering large volumes required by surveys such as DESI and WEAVE.
