Abstract

Context. Weak gravitational lensing, which results from the bending of light by matter along the line of sight, is a potent tool for exploring large-scale structures, particularly in quantifying non-Gaussianities. It is a pivotal objective for upcoming surveys. In the realm of current and forthcoming full-sky weak-lensing surveys, convergence maps, which represent a line-of-sight integration of the matter density field up to the source redshift, facilitate field-level inference. This provides an advantageous avenue for cosmological exploration. Traditional two-point statistics fall short of capturing non-Gaussianities, necessitating the use of higher-order statistics to extract this crucial information. Among the various available higher-order statistics, the wavelet & ell;1 -norm has proven its efficiency in inferring cosmology. However, the lack of a robust theoretical framework mandates reliance on simulations, which demand substantial resources and time. Aims. Our novel approach introduces a theoretical prediction of the wavelet & ell;1-norm for weak-lensing convergence maps that is grounded in the principles of large-deviation theory. This method builds upon recent work and offers a theoretical prescription for an aperture mass one-point probability density function. Methods. We present for the first time a theoretical prediction of the wavelet & ell;1-norm for convergence maps that is derived from the theoretical prediction of their one-point probability distribution. Additionally, we explored the cosmological dependence of this prediction and validated the results on simulations. Results. A comparison of our predicted wavelet & ell;1 -norm with simulations demonstrates a high level of accuracy in the weakly nonlinear regime. Moreover, we show its ability to capture cosmological dependence. This paves the way for a more robust and efficient parameter-inference process.
