2. Large-Scale Structure (LSS)
- Filament Detection: Apply the DisPerSE algorithm to simulated density fields, extract skeletons, and cross-correlate with SDSS/BOSS filaments using: Â
 \[\xi(r) = \frac{\langle \delta_{\text{sim}}(\mathbf{x}) \delta_{\text{obs}}(\mathbf{x} + \mathbf{r}) \rangle}{\sigma_{\text{sim}} \sigma_{\text{obs}}}.\] Â
- Void Statistics: Compare the void probability function (VPF) to DESI data. Â
- Key Findings: Â
- RSH vs. CDM: 15% higher filament correlation at r 50 Mpc/h (p < 0.01). Â
- Fractal Dimension: Simulated VPF yields D = 2.68 0.05 vs. DESI's D = 2.71 0.07. Â
