We study the information content of summary statistics built from multi-scale topology large-scale structures on primordial non-Gaussianity local and equilateral type. use halo catalogs generated numerical N-body simulations Universe large scales as a proxy for observed galaxies. Besides calculating Fisher matrix halos in real space, we also check more realistic scenarios redshift space. Withou...
