  1. 2012/9/13 COSMO12@Beijing, China Weak lensing generated by vector perturbations and detectability of cosmic strings Daisuke Yamauchi ICRR, U. Tokyo • DY, A. Taruya (U Tokyo, RESCEU), T. Namikawa (U Tokyo) • JCAP 1201 (2012) 007, arXiv:1110.1718 [astro-ph.CO] • arXiv:1205.2139[astro-ph.CO], JCAP submitted • arXiv:12??.????

  2. Vector mode in cosmology Scalar mode • dominant component, gravitational clustering,… Vector mode • very minor component and does not serve as a seed of structure formation • In absence of sources, it decays away, and rapidly becomes negligible … • BUT! It can be generated via a variety of mechanisms : • cosmic strings, magnetic fields, massive neutrinos, • 2nd-order density perturbations, modification of gravity,… …The detection/measurement of them offers an important clue to probe the unknown physics and history of the very early universe!

  3. NASA/ESA Gravitational Lensing = method to ``see’’ invisibles WEAK LENSING observations can provide a direct evidence for the intervening ``VECTOR MODES’’ along a line of sight by measuring the spatial patterns of the deformation of the photon path.

  4. Main Goal 1. We derive the full-sky formulas for • vector-induced cosmic shear for galaxy survey • vector-induced deflection angle for CMB-lensing 2. As a prospect for detecting shear/deflection, we consider a cosmic string network as a possible source for seeding vector perturbations.

  5. Cosmic shear :the deformation of distant-galaxy images due to weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structure Galaxies randomly distributed …+ exotic objects Intrinsic shape of a background galaxy z=zS z=zL WL Galaxy shape actually seen after WL z=0 Slight alignment

  6. E-/B-mode decomposition in WL The spatial pattern of lensing shear fields can be decomposed into even-parity part (E-mode) and odd-parity part (B-mode). dominant Scalar Vector Tensor No counterpart dominant E-mode B-mode The non-vanishingB-mode shear signal would be a direct evidence for non-scalar metric perturbations . (See [Dodelson+(‘03), Schmidt+(‘12),…] for primordial GW)

  7. Formula for vector-induced B-mode shear [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] • vector perturbations : gauge-invariant vector perturbations Solving the geodesic deviation equation,… comoving distance

  8. CMB lensing • Upcoming CMB experiments offers a opportunity to probe the gravitational lensing deflection of the CMB photons with unprecedented precision. UnlensedCMB map Non-scalar metric perturbations induce the curl-deflection! z=zCMB z=zL [Hu+Okamoto(2002)] gradient-mode curl-mode z=0

  9. Formula for vector-inducedcurl-mode [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] : vector perturbations Note : Considering a single light source, we can extract the vector-induced gradient-/curl-modes from the vector-induced shear fields.

  10. CMB-lensing reconstruction Lensing induces higher-order term, i.e., non-Gaussianity, in measured CMB anisotropies. • NG can be used to reconstruct • the lensing angular power spectrum. gradient-modefrom density pert. • Gradient-mode φ • [Hu+Okamoto(2002),…] • Curl-mode ω • [Cooray+ (2005), • Namikawa+DY+Taruya (2011)] Hu+Okamoto(2002)

  11. A cosmic string network as a source of vector perturbations ``COSMIC STRINGS’’ : relics from the early universe and exist in a wide variety of particle-physics models. The vector metric perturbations, ``σg,i’’, are sourced by the non-vanishing vector mode of string stress-energy tensor. Tμνstring (For convenience, we use the simple analytic model for the network evolution and the correlations.) [Bevis, Hindmarsh, Kunz, Urrestilla, 2007]

  12. B-mode shear from cosmic strings [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] String tension Gμ =10-8 reconn. prob. P= 10 -3 With a flat shape at l<100, rapidly falls off at l>>100 S/N~5 ! S/N~3 ! S/N~30 !

  13. [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] S/N for string-induced B-mode shear Disfavored by CMB TT Disfavored by CMB TT Disfavored by CMB TT For P=10-1, the B-mode signal is detectable for Gμ=5×10-8 For theoretically inferred smallest value, P=10-3, we could even detect the signal for Gμ=5×10-10!

  14. Curl-deflection from cosmic strings [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] The curl-mode signals is prominent and have the largest amplitude at large-angular scales. String tension Gμ =10-8 reconn. prob. P= 10 -3 S/N ~ 10 ! S/N ~ 3 ! The CURL-MODE measurement would provide not only a direct probe of cosmic strings, but also a diagnosis helpful to check the systematics in the derived constraints from the CMB TT.

  15. S/N for string-induced curl-deflection [DY+Namikawa+Taruya, 1205.2139] Cosmic variance limit ACTPol+PLANCK Disfavored by CMB TT Disfavored by CMB TT For P=10-3, the curl-mode signal is detectable for Gμ=10-9

  16. Summary • We study how vector metric perturbations affect weak gravitational lensing and possible signatures. • As an application, we consider a cosmic string network as a possible source for seeding vector perturbations. • B-mode of shear fields • P<10-1→Gμ> 5×10-8, P=10-3→ Gμ > 5×10-10 • Curl-mode of deflection angle • P<10-1→Gμ> 4×10-9, P=10-3→ Gμ > 10-9 • There are several missing pieces including the contribution of tensor perturbations, the additional correlations, and the other sources
