Abstract:The characteristic signatures of massive neutrinos on large-scale structure (LSS), if
fully captured, can be used to put a stringent constraint on their mass sum, Mν
. Previous
work utilizing N-body simulations has shown the Minkowski functionals (MFs) of LSS can reveal the
imprints of massive neutrinos on LSS, provide important complementary information to two-point
statistics, and significantly improve constraints on Mν
. In this work, we take a step
forward and … Show more
