DESCRIPTION:Quantum fluctuations in inflation provide the seeds for the la
 rge scale distribution of matter today. According to the standard paradigm
 \, these fluctuations induce density perturbations that are adiabatic and 
 Gaussian distributed. In this limit\, all the information is contained wit
 hin the two-point correlation function\, or equivalently\, the power spect
 rum. Today\, the distribution of matter is far from Gaussian\, with struct
 ures forming across a vast range of scales. Despite this\, almost all anal
 yses of observational data are performed using two-point functions. This b
 egs the question: what information lies in higher-point statistics?
