In this paper we introduce the Farpoint simulation, the latest member of the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) gravity-only simulation family. The domain covers a volume of (1000$h^{-1}$Mpc)$^3$ and evolves close to two trillion particles, corresponding to a mass resolution of $m_psim 4.6cdot 10^7 h^{-1}$M$_odot$. These specifications enable comprehensive investigations of the galaxy-halo connection, capturing halos down to small masses. Further, the large volume resolves scales typical of modern surveys with good statistical coverage of high mass halos. The simulation was carried out on the GPU-accelerated system Summit, one of the fastest supercomputers currently available. We provide specifics about the Farpoint run and present an initial set of results. The high mass resolution facilitates precise measurements of important global statistics, such as the halo concentration-mass relation and the correlation function down to small scales. Selected subsets of the simulation data products are publicly available via the HACC Simulation Data Portal.

We introduce Copernicus Complexio (COCO), a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of structure formation in the $Lambda{rm CDM}{}$ model. COCO follows an approximately spherical region of radius $sim 17.4h^{-1},{rm Mpc}$ embedded in a much l arger periodic cube that is followed at lower resolution. The high resolution volume has a particle mass of $1.135times10^5h^{-1}{rm M}_{odot}$ (60 times higher than the Millennium-II simulation). COCO gives the dark matter halo mass function over eight orders of magnitude in halo mass; it forms $sim 60$ haloes of galactic size, each resolved with about 10 million particles. We confirm the power-law character of the subhalo mass function, $bar{N}(>mu)proptomu^{-s}$, down to a reduced subhalo mass $M_{sub}/M_{200}equivmu=10^{-6}$, with a best-fit power-law index, $s=0.94$, for hosts of mass $langle M_{200}rangle=10^{12}h^{-1}{rm M}_{odot}$. The concentration-mass relation of COCO haloes deviates from a single power law for masses $M_{200}<textrm{a few}times 10^{8}h^{-1}{rm M}_{odot}$, where it flattens, in agreement with results by Sanchez-Conde et al. The host mass invariance of the reduced maximum circular velocity function of subhaloes, $ uequiv V_{max}/V_{200}$, hinted at in previous simulations, is clearly demonstrated over five orders of magnitude in host mass. Similarly, we find that the average, normalised radial distribution of subhaloes is approximately universal (i.e. independent of subhalo mass), as previously suggested by the Aquarius simulations of individual haloes. Finally, we find that at fixed physical subhalo size, subhaloes in lower mass hosts typically have lower central densities than those in higher mass hosts.
We present the BACCO project, a simulation framework specially designed to provide highly-accurate predictions for the distribution of mass, galaxies, and gas as a function of cosmological parameters. In this paper, we describe our main suite of simu lations (L $sim2$ Gpc and $4320^3$ particles) and present various validation tests. Using a cosmology-rescaling technique, we predict the nonlinear mass power spectrum over the redshift range $0<z<1.5$ and over scales $10^{-2} < k/(h Mpc^{-1} ) < 5$ for 800 points in an 8-dimensional cosmological parameter space. For an efficient interpolation of the results, we build an emulator and compare its predictions against several widely-used methods. Over the whole range of scales considered, we expect our predictions to be accurate at the 2% level for parameters in the minimal $Lambda$ CDM model and to 3% when extended to dynamical dark energy and massive neutrinos. We make our emulator publicly available under http://www.dipc.org/bacco
An observational program focused on the high redshift ($2<z<6$) Universe has the opportunity to dramatically improve over upcoming LSS and CMB surveys on measurements of both the standard cosmological model and its extensions. Using a Fisher matrix f ormalism that builds upon recent advances in Lagrangian perturbation theory, we forecast constraints for future spectroscopic and 21-cm surveys on the standard cosmological model, curvature, neutrino mass, relativistic species, primordial features, primordial non-Gaussianity, dynamical dark energy, and gravitational slip. We compare these constraints with those achievable by current or near-future surveys such as DESI and Euclid, all under the same forecasting formalism, and compare our formalism with traditional linear methods. Our Python code FishLSS $-$ used to calculate the Fisher information of the full shape power spectrum, CMB lensing, the cross-correlation of CMB lensing with galaxies, and combinations thereof $-$ is publicly available.
The KBC void is a local underdensity with the observed relative density contrast $delta equiv 1 - rho/rho_{0} = 0.46 pm 0.06$ between 40 and 300 Mpc around the Local Group. If mass is conserved in the Universe, such a void could explain the $5.3sigma $ Hubble tension. However, the MXXL simulation shows that the KBC void causes $6.04sigma$ tension with standard cosmology ($Lambda$CDM). Combined with the Hubble tension, $Lambda$CDM is ruled out at $7.09sigma$ confidence. Consequently, the density and velocity distribution on Gpc scales suggest a long-range modification to gravity. In this context, we consider a cosmological MOND model supplemented with $11 , rm{eV}/c^{2}$ sterile neutrinos. We explain why this $ u$HDM model has a nearly standard expansion history, primordial abundances of light elements, and cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. In MOND, structure growth is self-regulated by external fields from surrounding structures. We constrain our model parameters with the KBC void density profile, the local Hubble and deceleration parameters derived jointly from supernovae at redshifts $0.023 - 0.15$, time delays in strong lensing systems, and the Local Group velocity relative to the CMB. Our best-fitting model simultaneously explains these observables at the $1.14%$ confidence level (${2.53 sigma}$ tension) if the void is embedded in a time-independent external field of ${0.055 , a_{_0}}$. Thus, we show for the first time that the KBC void can naturally resolve the Hubble tension in Milgromian dynamics. Given the many successful a priori MOND predictions on galaxy scales that are difficult to reconcile with $Lambda$CDM, Milgromian dynamics supplemented by $11 , rm{eV}/c^{2}$ sterile neutrinos may provide a more holistic explanation for astronomical observations across all scales.

The abundance of dark matter satellites and subhalos, the existence of density cusps at the centers of dark matter halos, and problems producing realistic disk galaxies in simulations are issues that have raised concerns about the viability of the st andard cold dark matter (LambdaCDM) scenario for galaxy formation. This talk reviews these issues, and considers the implications for cold vs. various varieties of warm dark matter (WDM). The current evidence appears to be consistent with standard LambdaCDM, although improving data may point toward a rather tepid version of LambdaWDM - tepid since the dark matter cannot be very warm without violating observational constraints.
