Monge-Ampère gravity: From the large deviation principle to cosmological simulations through optimal transport

B Lévy, Y Brenier, R Mohayaee - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study Monge-Ampère gravity (MAG) as an effective theory of cosmological structure
formation through optimal transport theory. MAG is based on the Monge-Ampère equation, a …

Leveraging protohalos and scale-dependent bias to calibrate the BAO scale in real space

S Gaines, F Nikakhtar, N Padmanabhan, RK Sheth - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The location of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation
function (2PCF) of matter produces a standard ruler that is useful for the measurement of the …

Monge-Ampère gravity, optimal transport theory, and their link to the Galileons

A Bonnefous, Y Brenier, R Mohayaee - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Mathematicians have been proposing for some time that the Monge-Ampère equation, a
nonlinear generalization of the Poisson equation, where a trace of the Hessian is replaced …

Eigen-decomposition of covariance matrices: An application to the BAO linear point

J Lee, F Nikakhtar, A Paranjape, RK Sheth - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function (TPCF) of
discrete tracers such as galaxies is an accurate standard ruler. The covariance matrix of the …

A Lagrangian shape and topology optimization framework based on semi-discrete optimal transport

C Dapogny, B Lévy, E Oudet - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.07873, 2024 - arxiv.org
This article revolves around shape and topology optimization, in the applicative context
where the objective and constraint functionals depend on the solution to a physical …

De-baryonifying halos via optimal transport

L Thiele - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.18399, 2024 - arxiv.org
Baryonic feedback uncertainty is a limiting systematic for next-generation weak gravitational
