According to the current standard model of Cosmology, matter in the Universe arranges itself along a network of filamentary structure. These filaments connect the main nodes of this so-called Cosmic Web, which are clusters of galaxies. Although its large-scale distribution is clearly characterized by numerical simulations, constraining the dark matter content of the cosmic web in reality turns out to be difficult. The natural method of choice is gravitational lensing. However, the direct detection and mapping of the elusive filament signal is challenging and in this work we present two methods,specifically tailored to achieve this task. A linear matched filter aims at the detection of the smooth mass component of filaments and is optimized to perform a shear decomposition that follows the anisotropic component of the lensing signal. Filaments clearly inherit this property due to their morphology. At the same time, the contamination arising from the central massive cluster is controlled in a natural way. The filament 1 {sigma} detection is of about {kappa} ~ 0.01-0.005 according to the filters template width and length, enabling the detection of structures out of reach with other approaches. The second, complementary method seeks to detect the clumpy component of filaments. The detection is determined by the number density of sub-clump identifications in an area enclosing the potential filament, as it was found within the observed field with the filter approach. We test both methods against Mock observations based on realistic N-Body simulations of filamentary structure and prove the feasibility of detecting filaments with ground-based data.

Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies is a unique, direct probe of the distribution of matter in clusters of galaxies. We review several important aspects of cluster weak gravitational lensing together with recent advances in weak lensing
techniques for measuring cluster lensing profiles and constraining cluster structure parameters.
Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters. Here we present a self-contained pedagogical review of cluster--galaxy weak lensing, covering a range of top
ics relevant to its cosmological and astrophysical applications. We begin by reviewing the theoretical foundations of gravitational lensing from first principles, with special attention to the basics and advanced techniques of weak gravitational lensing. We summarize and discuss key findings from recent cluster--galaxy weak-lensing studies on both observational and theoretical grounds, with a focus on cluster mass profiles, the concentration--mass relation, the splashback radius, and implications from extensive mass calibration efforts for cluster cosmology.
In the standard model of non-linear structure formation, a cosmic web of dark-matter dominated filaments connects dark matter halos. In this paper, we stack the weak lensing signal of an ensemble of filaments between groups and clusters of galaxies.
Specifically, we detect the weak lensing signal, using CFHTLenS galaxy ellipticities, from stacked filaments between SDSS-III/BOSS luminous red galaxies (LRGs). As a control, we compare the physical LRG pairs with projected LRG pairs that are more widely separated in redshift space. We detect the excess filament mass density in the projected pairs at the $5sigma$ level, finding a mass of $(1.6 pm 0.3) times 10^{13} M_{odot}$ for a stacked filament region 7.1 $h^{-1}$ Mpc long and 2.5 $h^{-1}$ Mpc wide. This filament signal is compared with a model based on the three-point galaxy-galaxy-convergence correlation function, as developed in Clampitt, Jain & Takada (2014), yielding reasonable agreement.
We propose a novel method to reconstruct high-resolution three-dimensional mass maps using data from photometric weak-lensing surveys. We apply an adaptive LASSO algorithm to perform a sparsity-based reconstruction on the assumption that the underlyi
ng cosmic density field is represented by a sum of Navarro-Frenk-White halos. We generate realistic mock galaxy shape catalogues by considering the shear distortions from isolated halos for the configurations matched to Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey with its photometric redshift estimates. We show that the adaptive method significantly reduces line-of-sight smearing that is caused by the correlation between the lensing kernels at different redshifts. Lensing clusters with lower mass limits of $10^{14.0} h^{-1}M_{odot}$, $10^{14.7} h^{-1}M_{odot}$, $10^{15.0} h^{-1}M_{odot}$ can be detected with 1.5-$sigma$ confidence at the low ($z<0.3$), median ($0.3leq z< 0.6$) and high ($0.6leq z< 0.85$) redshifts, respectively, with an average false detection rate of 0.022 deg$^{-2}$. The estimated redshifts of the detected clusters are systematically lower than the true values by $Delta z sim 0.03$ for halos at $zleq 0.4$, but the relative redshift bias is below $0.5%$ for clusters at $0.4<zleq 0.85$. The standard deviation of the redshift estimation is $0.092$. Our method enables direct three-dimensional cluster detection with accurate redshift estimates.
Cluster weak lensing is a sensitive probe of cosmology, particularly the amplitude of matter clustering $sigma_8$ and matter density parameter $Omega_m$. The main nuisance parameter in a cluster weak lensing cosmological analysis is the scatter betwe
en the true halo mass and the relevant cluster observable, denoted $sigma_{ln Mc}$. We show that combining the cluster weak lensing observable $Delta Sigma$ with the projected cluster-galaxy cross-correlation function $w_{p,cg}$ and galaxy auto-correlation function $w_{p,gg}$ can break the degeneracy between $sigma_8$ and $sigma_{ln Mc}$ to achieve tight, percent-level constraints on $sigma_8$. Using a grid of cosmological N-body simulations, we compute derivatives of $Delta Sigma$, $w_{p,cg}$, and $w_{p,gg}$ with respect to $sigma_8$, $Omega_m$, $sigma_{ln Mc}$ and halo occupation distribution (HOD) parameters describing the galaxy population. We also compute covariance matrices motivated by the properties of the Dark Energy Suvery (DES) cluster and weak lensing survey and the BOSS CMASS galaxy redshift survey. For our fiducial scenario combining $Delta Sigma$, $w_{p,cg}$, and $w_{p,gg}$ measured over $0.3-30.0 ; h^{-1} ; mathrm{Mpc}$, for clusters at $z=0.35-0.55$ above a mass threshold $M_capprox 2times 10^{14} ; h^{-1} ; mathrm{M_{odot}}$, we forecast a $1.4%$ constraint on $sigma_8$ while marginalizing over $sigma_{ln Mc}$ and all HOD parameters. Reducing the mass threshold to $1times 10^{14} ; h^{-1} ; mathrm{M_{odot}}$ and adding a $z=0.15-0.35$ redshift bin sharpens this constraint to $0.8%$. The small scale $(r_p < 3.0 ; h^{-1} ; mathrm{Mpc})$ ``mass function and large scale $(r_p > 3.0 ; h^{-1} ; mathrm{Mpc})$ ``halo-mass cross-correlation regimes of $Delta Sigma$ have comparable constraining power, allowing internal consistency tests from such an analysis.
