We present a first application to photometric galaxy clustering and weak lensing of wavelet based multi-scale higher order summary statistics: starlet peak counts and starlet ℓ₁-norm. Peak counts are the local maxima in the map and the ℓ₁-norm is computed via the sum of the absolute values of the starlet (wavelet) decomposition coefficients of a map, providing a fast multi-scale calculation of the pixel distribution, encoding the information of all pixels in the map. We employ the cosmo-SLICS simulations sources and lenses catalogues and we compute wavelet based higher order statistics in the context of combined probes and their potential when applied to the weak lensing convergence maps and galaxy maps. We get forecasts on the matter density parameter Ωₘ, the reduced Hubble constant h, the matter fluctuation amplitude σ₈, and the dark energy equation of state parameter w₀. We find that, in our setting for this first application, considering the two probes as independent, starlet peaks and the ℓ₁-norm represent interesting summary statistics that can improve the constraints with respect to the power spectrum also in the case of photometric galaxy clustering and when the two probes are combined.
