General relativity predicts that the rotational momentum flux of matter twists the spacetime via a vector gravitomagnetic (frame-dragging) field, which so far remains undetected in cosmology. This vector field induces an additional gravitational lensing effect; at the same time, the momentum field sources the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect. The common origin of these two effects allows us to probe the gravitomagnetic signal via their cross-correlations. In this paper, we explore the possibility of detecting the gravitomagnetic field in $Lambda$CDM by cross-correlating the weak lensing convergence field with the CMB temperature map, which is imprinted with the kSZ signal. This approach allows us to extract the gravitomagnetic effect because the cross correlation between the standard Newtonian contribution to the weak-lensing convergence field, $kappa_Phi$, and the kSZ effect is expected to vanish. We study the cross correlations with a suite of large-volume Newtonian $N$-body simulations and a small-volume, high-resolution, general-relativistic $N$-body simulation counterpart. We show that insufficient simulation resolution can introduce significant spurious correlations between $kappa_Phi$ and kSZ. Based on the high-resolution simulation, we find that the cumulative signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the kSZ-gravitomagnetic convergence field can reach almost 15 (30) at $ellsimeq5000$ ($10^4$) if only cosmic variance is considered. We make forecast for next-generation lensing surveys such as textsc{euclid} and textsc{lsst}, and CMB experiments such as Simons Observatory and textsc{cmb}-textsc{s4}, and find that the cumulative SNR can exceed 5 (9) at $ellsimeq5000$ ($10^4$), indicating that the cosmological gravitomagnetic effect can be detected, provided that several foreground contaminations can be reliably removed.

We construct forecasts for cosmological parameter constraints from weak gravitational lensing surveys involving the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Considering matter content, dark energy and modified gravity parameters, we show that the first phase of
the SKA (SKA1) can be competitive with other Stage III experiments such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and that the full SKA (SKA2) can potentially form tighter constraints than Stage IV optical weak lensing experiments, such as those that will be conducted with LSST, WFIRST-AFTA or Euclid-like facilities. Using weak lensing alone, going from SKA1 to SKA2 represents improvements by factors of $sim10$ in matter, $sim10$ in dark energy and $sim5$ in modified gravity parameters. We also show, for the first time, the powerful result that comparably tight constraints (within $sim5%$) for both Stage III and Stage IV experiments, can be gained from cross-correlating shear maps between the optical and radio wavebands, a process which can also eliminate a number of potential sources of systematic errors which can otherwise limit the utility of weak lensing cosmology.
In this manuscript of the habilitation `a diriger des recherches (HDR), the author presents some of his work over the last ten years. The main topic of this thesis is cosmic shear, the distortion of images of distant galaxies due to weak gravitationa
l lensing by the large-scale structure in the Universe. Cosmic shear has become a powerful probe into the nature of dark matter and the origin of the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. Over the last years, cosmic shear has evolved into a reliable and robust cosmological probe, providing measurements of the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of its structure. I review the principles of weak gravitational lensing and show how cosmic shear is interpreted in a cosmological context. Then I give an overview of weak-lensing measurements, and present observational results from the Canada-France Hawaii Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS), as well as the implications for cosmology. I conclude with an outlook on the various future surveys and missions, for which cosmic shear is one of the main science drivers, and discuss promising new weak cosmological lensing techniques for future observations.
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.
We discover a linear relation between two sets of galaxy-lensing cross-correlations. This linear relation holds, as long as light follows the geodesic and the metric is Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW). Violation of the cosmological prin
ciple (and equivalently the FLRW metric) will break this linear relation. Therefore it provides a powerful test of the cosmological principle, based on direct observables and relied on no specific cosmological models. We demonstrate that stage IV galaxy surveys and CMB-S4 experiments will be able to test this linear relation stringently and therefore test the cosmological principle robustly.
Cosmological weak lensing has been a highly successful and rapidly developing research field since the first detection of cosmic shear in 2000. However, it has recently been pointed out in Yoo et al. that the standard weak lensing formalism yields ga
uge-dependent results and, hence, does not meet the level of accuracy demanded by the next generation of weak lensing surveys. Here, we show that the Jacobi mapping formalism provides a solid alternative to the standard formalism, as it accurately describes all the relativistic effects contributing to the weak lensing observables. We calculate gauge-invariant expressions for the distortion in the luminosity distance, the cosmic shear components and the lensing rotation to linear order including scalar, vector and tensor perturbations. In particular, the Jacobi mapping formalism proves that the rotation is fully vanishing to linear order. Furthermore, the cosmic shear components contain an additional term in tensor modes which is absent in the results obtained with the standard formalism. Our work provides further support and confirmation of the gauge-invariant lensing formalism needed in the era of precision cosmology.
