Observational Test of f(Q) Gravity with Weak Gravitational Lensing
In this article we confront a class of f ( Q ) gravity models with observational data of galaxy–galaxy lensing. Specifically, we consider f ( Q ) gravity models containing a small quadratic correction when compared with general relativity (GR), and ...

ABSTRACT Land markets are an increasingly significant byproduct of industrialisation in neoliberal India, but accumulation possibilities for rural classes through speculation are uneven. Trajectories through rents are determined not just by the social relations in impacted villages but crucially by the historically determined dynamics of the wider ...

The Saas Fee Lectures on Strong Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
A review of strong gravitational lensing and its astrophysical uses.
arxiv
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will implement a devoted weak gravitational lensing program with its High Latitude Wide Area Survey. For cosmological purposes, a critical step in Roman image processing is to combine dithered undersampled images ...

The simplicity of physical laws
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

A Scalable Gaussian Process Approach to Shear Mapping with MuyGPs
Analysis of cosmic shear is an integral part of understanding structure growth across cosmic time, which in turn provides us with information about the nature of dark energy.

Embracing the politics of transformation: Policy action as “battle‐settlement events”
Abstract Societal transformations for addressing climate change are intensely contested and at risk of resistance and backlash to ambitious policy action. But they are frequently modeled through heuristics such as S‐curves which abstract from such conflicts, assuming increasing returns to scale as a driver of transformations.

ABSTRACT Sedimentary infill patterns in the Eastern Gobi Basin of southern Mongolia record a complex, polyphased history. Asynchronous timing and intensities of extensional tectonism during the Early Cretaceous fragmented the Eastern Gobi Basin into a series of sub‐basins within an extensional rift (horst‐graben) setting, which likely infilled ...

Exploring Weak Gravitational Lensing Effects by a Regular Black Hole
Gravitational lensing is one of the physical consequences of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which has been observationally confirmed. This work aims to study the weak gravitational lensing scenario where the lens is a spherically symmetric ...
