Title: “Unveiling New Physics beyond the Standard Model of Cosmology with Galaxies”

Abstract: “The standard model of cosmology has been a tremendous success, providing a robust framework for understanding the Universe. However, it leaves several fundamental questions unresolved. Growing tensions and anomalies in current datasets suggest the possibility of new physics beyond this paradigm. The distribution of galaxies encodes critical information about the origin and dynamics of the Universe. Ongoing and upcoming galaxy surveys offer unprecedented data volumes and number densities, opening exciting opportunities to search for tensions and anomalies. Fully exploiting this data requires advanced algorithms that go beyond the widely used 2-point statistics. In this talk, I will provide examples of how higher-order statistics can extract additional information and uncover unexpected features from the data. Anomalies such as parity violation on cosmological scales could offer new insights into the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the dynamics of the early Universe.”
