摘要:

随机微透镜是在星系尺度上探测暗物质的核心工具。从第一原理出发,我们开始发展随机微透镜的数学理论。从随机时间延迟函数和相关的透镜映射开始,我们确定了这些变换的平均值和方差的精确表达式。我们描述了确切的p.d.f.的归一化随机时间延迟函数在原点,表明它是一个移位的伽玛分布,这也保持在领先的顺序在一个镜头平面的一般点的大量的点质量的限制。对于大量点质量极限,我们还证明了渐近p.d.f.在指定的缩放比例下,随机透镜映射的收敛于二元正态分布。我们分析表明,p.d.f.的随机缩放的透镜映射在领先的顺序取决于缩放的弯曲角度的大小,纯粹由于点质量,以及明确地证明了这种径向对称性是如何打破在下一个订单。有趣的是,我们发现在领导阶的公式连接的期望和方差的归一化随机时间延迟函数的第一贝蒂数的域。我们还确定了一个渐近p.d.f.并找到透镜平面点靠近固定点的概率的积分表达式。最后,我们明确地表明,结果是如何受到影响的位置在透镜平面。本文的结果是相关的随机场理论,并提供了一个平台,进一步推广以及分析限制检查天体物理研究的随机微透镜。

英文摘要:

Stochastic microlensing is a central tool in probing dark matter on galactic scales. From first principles, we initiate the development of a mathematical theory of stochastic microlensing. Beginning with the random time delay function and associated lensing map, we determine exact expressions for the mean and variance of these transformations. We characterize the exact p.d.f. of a normalized random time delay function at the origin, showing that it is a shifted gamma distribution, which also holds at leading order in the limit of a large number of point masses at a general point of the lens plane. For the large number of point masses limit, we also prove that the asymptotic p.d.f. of the random lensing map under a specified scaling converges to a bivariate normal distribution. We show analytically that the p.d.f. of the random scaled lensing map at leading order depends on the magnitude of the scaled bending angle due purely to point masses as well as demonstrate explicitly how this radial symmetry is broken at the next order. Interestingly, we found at leading order a formula linking the expectation and variance of the normalized random time delay function to the first Betti number of its domain. We also determine an asymptotic p.d.f. for the random bending angle vector and find an integral expression for the probability of a lens plane point being near a fixed point. Lastly, we show explicitly how the results are affected by location in the lens plane. The results of this paper are relevant to the theory of random fields and provide a platform for further generalizations as well as analytical limits for checking astrophysical studies of stochastic microlensing.
