Euclid preparation XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel, Maurizio Martinelli, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina

This work considers which higher order modeling e ffects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter i ...

Predictors and predictands of linear response in spatially extended systems

Umberto Maria Tomasini

The goal of response theory, in each of its many statistical mechanical formulations, is to predict the perturbed response of a system from the knowledge of the unperturbed state and of the applied perturbation. A new recent angle on the problem focuses on ...

Inconsistency of an inflationary sector coupled only to Einstein gravity

Daniel Garcia Figueroa

From a model-building perspective, the inflationary sector might very well have no direct couplings to other species, apart from inevitable gravitational interactions. Within the context of General Relativity, a thermal universe can still emerge after infl ...

DES Y1 Results: validating cosmological parameter estimation using simulated Dark Energy Surveys

Eduardo Sanchez, Mingkui Wang, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Augusto Martins Lima, Craig Matthew Smith

We use mock galaxy survey simulations designed to resemble the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES Y1) data to validate and inform cosmological parameter estimation. When similar analysis tools are applied to both simulations and real survey data, they provide ...

One-loop adjoint masses for non-supersymmetric intersecting branes

Alessandro Vichi

We consider breaking of supersymmetry in intersecting D-brane configurations by slight deviation of the angles from their supersymmetric values. We compute the masses generated by radiative corrections for the ad joint scalars on the brane world-volumes. I ...

SPACE: the spectroscopic all-sky cosmic explorer

Herbert Shea, Stewart Cole, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Rachel Grange, Yi Wang, Fabio Finelli

We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Vision 2015–2025 planning cycle. SPACE aims to produce the largest three-dimensio ...

Gravitational lenses : time delays and the Hubble constant

Christel Vuissoz

The Hubble constant H0 is one of the most important parameters in cosmology, as it encodes the age of the Universe and is necessary for any distance determination at a cosmological scale. It is, however, only poorly constrained by traditional methods. The ...

Global universe anisotropy probed by the alignment of structures in the cosmic microwave background

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

We question the global universe isotropy by probing the alignment of local structures in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The original method proposed relies on a steerable wavelet decomposition of the CMB signal on the sphere. The analysis ...

Vacuum decay on a brane world

Sylvain Bréchet

The bubble nucleation rate for a first order phase transition occurring on a brane world is calculated. Both the Coleman-de Luccia thin wall instanton and the Hawking-Moss instanton are considered. The results are compared with the corresponding nucleation ...
