Cross correlation surveys with the Square Kilometre Array [PDF]
By the time that the first phase of the Square Kilometre Array is deployed it will be able to perform state of the art Large Scale Structure (LSS) as well as Weak Gravitational Lensing (WGL) measurements of the distribution of matter in the Universe.

Gravitational Lensing by Dark Matter Caustics [PDF]
Dark matter caustics have specific density profiles and, therefore, precisely calculable gravitational lensing properties. We present a formalism which simplifies the relevant calculations, and apply it to four specific cases.

A Smithian Political Economy Approach for the Competition Law of the 21st Century
This study aims to show how a Smithian political economy approach could assist competition law in addressing the challenges of the 21st‐century economy. We revisit Smith's Wealth of Nations to provide a more nuanced understanding of his views, contrasting them with the prevailing libertarian interpretation called here ‘Chicago Smith’.

Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...

INHERITANCE AND INCEST: TOWARD A LÉVI‐STRAUSSIAN READING OF MONTESQUIEU'S DE L'ESPRIT DES LOIS1
ABSTRACT The premise of this article is that Montesquieu, while seen as an Enlightenment thinker who contributed centrally to the development of the social sciences before the period of discipline formation in the nineteenth century, is generally appreciated in only the vaguest of terms.

Strong field limit analysis of gravitational retro-lensing
We present a complete treatment in the strong field limit of gravitational retro-lensing by a static spherically symmetric compact object having a photon sphere.

3D Weak Gravitational Lensing of the CMB and Galaxies [PDF]
In this paper we present a power spectrum formalism that combines the full three-dimensional information from the galaxy ellipticity field, with information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

Recent Developments in Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor Theories
Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor theories are reviewed, together with their applications in cosmology and astrophysics. These theories have been applied to build models of the early universe, in the description of the late‐time cosmic acceleration, as well as in astrophysics, including black hole physics. They have the potential to provide answers

Flexion-based weak gravitational lensing analysis is proving to be a useful adjunct to traditional shear-based techniques. As flexion arises from gradients across an image, analytic and numerical techniques are required to investigate flexion predictions

Gravitational Effects on the Neutrino Oscillation [PDF]
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied. A method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time is presented.
