The anisotropy of the redshift space bispectrum contains a wealth of cosmological information. This anisotropy depends on the orientation of three vectors ${bf k_1,k_2,k_3}$ with respect to the line of sight. Here we have decomposed the redshift space bispectrum in spherical harmonics which completely quantify this anisotropy. To illustrate this we consider linear redshift space distortion of the bispectrum arising from primordial non-Gaussianity. In the plane parallel approximation only the first four even $ell$ multipoles have non-zero values, and we present explicit analytical expressions for all the non-zero multipoles {it i.e.} upto $ell=6,m=4$. The ratio of the different multipole moments to the real space bispectrum depends only on $beta_1$ the linear redshift distortion parameter and the shape of the triangle. Considering triangles of all possible shapes, we have studied how this ratio depends on the shape of the triangle for $beta_1=1$. We have also studied the $beta_1$ dependence for some of the extreme triangle shapes. If measured in future, these multipole moments hold the potential of constraining $beta_1$. The results presented here are also important if one wishes to constrain $f_{text{NL}}$ using redshift surveys.

The anisotrpy of the redshift space bispectrum $B^s(mathbf{k_1},mathbf{k_2},mathbf{k_3})$, which contains a wealth of cosmological information, is completely quantified using multipole moments $bar{B}^m_{ell}(k_1,mu,t)$ where $k_1$, the length of the largest side, and $(mu,t)$ respectively quantify the size and shape of the triangle $(mathbf{k_1},mathbf{k_2},mathbf{k_3})$. We present analytical expressions for all the multipoles which are predicted to be non-zero ($ell le 8, m le 6$ ) at second order perturbation theory. The multipoles also depend on $beta_1,b_1$ and $gamma_2$, which quantify the linear redshift distortion parameter, linear bias and quadratic bias respectively. Considering triangles of all possible shapes, we analyse the shape dependence of all of the multipoles holding $k_1=0.2 , {rm Mpc}^{-1}, beta_1=1, b_1=1$ and $gamma_2=0$ fixed. The monopole $bar{B}^0_0$, which is positive everywhere, is minimum for equilateral triangles. $bar{B}_0^0$ increases towards linear triangles, and is maximum for linear triangles close to the squeezed limit. Both $bar{B}^0_{2}$ and $bar{B}^0_4$ are similar to $bar{B}^0_0$, however the quadrupole $bar{B}^0_2$ exceeds $bar{B}^0_0$ over a significant range of shapes. The other multipoles, many of which become negative, have magnitudes smaller than $bar{B}^0_0$. In most cases the maxima or minima, or both, occur very close to the squeezed limit. $mid bar{B}^m_{ell} mid $ is found to decrease rapidly if $ell$ or $m$ are increased. The shape dependence shown here is characteristic of non-linear gravitational clustering. Non-linear bias, if present, will lead to a different shape dependence.
Next-generation galaxy and 21cm intensity mapping surveys will rely on a combination of the power spectrum and bispectrum for high-precision measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity. In turn, these measurements will allow us to distinguish between various models of inflation. However, precision observations require theoretical precision at least at the same level. We extend the theoretical understanding of the galaxy bispectrum by incorporating a consistent general relativistic model of galaxy bias at second order, in the presence of local primordial non-Gaussianity. The influence of primordial non-Gaussianity on the bispectrum extends beyond the galaxy bias and the dark matter density, due to redshift-space effects. The standard redshift-space distortions at first and second order produce a well-known primordial non-Gaussian imprint on the bispectrum. Relativistic corrections to redshift-space distortions generate new contributions to this primordial non-Gaussian signal, arising from: (1)~a coupling of first-order scale-dependent bias with first-order relativistic observational effects, and (2)~linearly evolved non-Gaussianity in the second-order velocity and metric potentials which appear in relativistic observational effects. Our analysis allows for a consistent separation of the relativistic `contamination from the primordial signal, in order to avoid biasing the measurements by using an incorrect theoretical model. We show that the bias from using a Newtonian analysis of the squeezed bispectrum could be $Delta fnlsim 5$ for a Stage IV H$alpha$ survey.
Upcoming galaxy redshift surveys promise to significantly improve current limits on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) through measurements of 2- and 3-point correlation functions in Fourier space. However, realizing the full potential of this dataset is contingent upon having both accurate theoretical models and optimized analysis methods. Focusing on the local model of PNG, parameterized by $f_{rm NL}$, we perform a Monte-Carlo Markov Chain analysis to confront perturbation theory predictions of the halo power spectrum and bispectrum in real space against a suite of N-body simulations. We model the halo bispectrum at tree-level, including all contributions linear and quadratic in $f_{rm NL}$, and the halo power spectrum at 1-loop, including tree-level terms up to quadratic order in $f_{rm NL}$ and all loops induced by local PNG linear in $f_{rm NL}$. Keeping the cosmological parameters fixed, we examine the effect of informative priors on the linear non-Gaussian bias parameter on the statistical inference of $f_{rm NL}$. A conservative analysisof the combined power spectrum and bispectrum, in which only loose priors are imposed and all parameters are marginalized over, can improve the constraint on $f_{rm NL}$ by more than a factor of 5 relative to the power spectrum-only measurement. Imposing a strong prior on $b_phi$, or assuming bias relations for both $b_phi$ and $b_{phidelta}$ (motivated by a universal mass function assumption), improves the constraints further by a factor of few. In this case, however, we find a significant systematic shift in the inferred value of $f_{rm NL}$ if the same range of wavenumber is used. Likewise, a Poisson noise assumption can lead to significant systematics, and it is thus essential to leave all the stochastic amplitudes free.
We develop an analysis pipeline for characterizing the topology of large scale structure and extracting cosmological constraints based on persistent homology. Persistent homology is a technique from topological data analysis that quantifies the multi scale topology of a data set, in our context unifying the contributions of clusters, filament loops, and cosmic voids to cosmological constraints. We describe how this method captures the imprint of primordial local non-Gaussianity on the late-time distribution of dark matter halos, using a set of N-body simulations as a proxy for real data analysis. For our best single statistic, running the pipeline on several cubic volumes of size $40~(rm{Gpc/h})^{3}$, we detect $f_{rm NL}^{rm loc}=10$ at $97.5%$ confidence on $sim 85%$ of the volumes. Additionally we test our ability to resolve degeneracies between the topological signature of $f_{rm NL}^{rm loc}$ and variation of $sigma_8$ and argue that correctly identifying nonzero $f_{rm NL}^{rm loc}$ in this case is possible via an optimal template method. Our method relies on information living at $mathcal{O}(10)$ Mpc/h, a complementary scale with respect to commonly used methods such as the scale-dependent bias in the halo/galaxy power spectrum. Therefore, while still requiring a large volume, our method does not require sampling long-wavelength modes to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity. Moreover, our statistics are interpretable: we are able to reproduce previous results in certain limits and we make new predictions for unexplored observables, such as filament loops formed by dark matter halos in a simulation box.
After reionisation, the 21cm emission line of neutral hydrogen within galaxies provides a tracer of dark matter. Next-generation intensity mapping surveys, with the SKA and other radio telescopes, will cover large sky areas and a wide range of redshi fts, facilitating their use as probes of primordial non-Gaussianity. {Previous works have shown that the bispectrum can achieve tight constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity with future surveys that are purposely designed for intensity mapping in interferometer mode}. Here we investigate the constraints attainable from surveys operating in single-dish mode, rev{using the combined power spectrum and bispectrum signal}. In the case of the power spectrum, single-dish surveys typically outperform interferometer surveys. We find that the reverse holds for the bispectrum: single-dish surveys are not competitive with surveys designed for interferometer mode.
