Universe and Matter conjectured as a 3-dimensional Lattice with Topological Singularities

One fundamental problem of modern physics is the search for a theory of everything able to explain the nature of space-time, what matter is and how matter interacts. There are various propositions, as Grand Unified Theory, Quantum Gravity, Supersymmetry, S ...

Poincaré, Scale and Conformal Symmetries

Georgios Karananas

Symmetries are omnipresent and play a fundamental role in the description of Nature. Thanks to them, we have at our disposal nontrivial selection rules that dictate how a theory should be constructed. This thesis, which is naturally divided into two parts, ...

The Weak Lensing Signal And The Clustering Of Boss Galaxies. I. Measurements

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

A joint analysis of the clustering of galaxies and their weak gravitational lensing signal is well-suited to simultaneously constrain the galaxy-halo connection as well as the cosmological parameters by breaking the degeneracy between galaxy bias and the a ...

Cosmology From Gravitational Lens Time Delays And Planck Data

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...

Separate constraints on early and late cosmology

Benjamin Audren

Since the public release of Planck data, several attempts have been made to explain the observed small tensions with other data sets, most of them involving an extension of the Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model. We try here an alternative approach ...

Image Analysis For Cosmology: Results From The Great10 Star Challenge

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile, Richard Massey

We present the results from the first public blind point-spread function (PSF) reconstruction challenge, the GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Star Challenge. Reconstruction of a spatially varying PSF, sparsely sampled by stars, at non- ...

Sparsity and the Bayesian perspective

Jean-Luc Starck, Anaïs Marie Rassat

Sparsity has recently been introduced in cosmology for weak-lensing and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data analysis for different applications such as denoising, component separation, or inpainting (i.e., filling the missing data or the mask). Although ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Large-Scale Structures

Marc Gentile

There is now very strong evidence that our Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion period as if it were under the influence of a gravitationally repulsive “dark energy” component. Furthermore, most of the mass of the Universe seems to be in the for ...

Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombination. As suggested in a previous work by Vonlanthen et al., it is possible to ...

Image analysis for cosmology: results from the GREAT10 Galaxy Challenge

Frédéric Courbin, Malte Tewes, Marc Gentile, Nicolas Cantale, Guldariya Nurbaeva, Richard Massey

In this paper, we present results from the weak-lensing shape measurement GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2010 (GREAT10) Galaxy Challenge. This marks an order of magnitude step change in the level of scrutiny employed in weak-lensing shape measureme ...
