Description
Upcoming surveys of cosmic structures will probe scales ranging from the nonlinear regime to scales close to the cosmological horizon. This opens up the possibility of probing the ΛCDM model, as well as early universe scenarios with non-Gaussianity. Modeling the galaxy bispectrum is challenging, as it involves general relativity, radiation, and large nonlinearities. In this talk, I will present the latest developments we have achieved in the numerical and theoretical modeling of the matter angular bispectrum on the light cone, including relativistic and radiation effects. This is a crucial step towards modeling the observable bispectra, i.e., the galaxy number count bispectrum and the weak lensing bispectrum.
