Abstract
We compute the bispectrum fur the IRAS PSCz catalog and find that the galaxy distribution displays the characteristic signature of gravity. Assuming Gaussian initial conditions, we obtain galaxy biasing parameters 1/b(1) = 1.20(-0.19)(+0.18) and b(2)/b(1)(2) = -0.42 +/- 0.19, with no sign of scale-dependent bias for k less than or equal to 0.3h Mpc(-1). These results impose stringent constraints on non-Gaussian initial conditions. For dimensional scaling models with chi (2)(N) statistics, we find N > 49, which implies a constraint on primordial skewness B-3 < 0.35.
