abstract
We present the first analysis of cosmic shear measured in DES Y3 that employs the entire range of angular scales in the data. To achieve this, we build upon recent advances in the theoretical modelling of weak lensing provided by a combination of $N$-body simulations, physical models of baryonic processes, and neural networks. Specifically, we use BACCOemu to model the linear and nonlinear matter power spectrum including baryonic physics, allowing us to robustly exploit scales smaller than those used by the DES Collaboration. We show that the additional data produce cosmological parameters that are tighter but consistent with those obtained from larger scales, while also constraining the distribution of baryons. In particular, we measure the mass scale at which haloes have lost half of their gas, $\log\,M_{\rm c}=14.38^{+0.60}_{-0.56}\log(h^{-1}{\rm M_{ \odot}})$, and a parameter that quantifies the weighted amplitudes of the present-day matter inhomogeneities, $S_8=0.799^{+0.023}_{-0.015}$. Our constraint on $S_8$ is statistically compatible with that inferred from the Planck satellite's data at the $0.9\sigma$ level. We find instead a $1.4\sigma$ shift in comparison to that from the official DES Y3 cosmic shear, because of different choices in the modelling of intrinsic alignment, non-linearities, baryons, and lensing shear ratios. We conclude that small scales in cosmic shear data contain valuable astrophysical and cosmological information and thus should be included in standard analyses.

Interpreting the stacked kinetic SZ effect I: velocity reconstruction and non-linear velocity effects
Non-linear velocity terms cancel in real-space linear reconstruction, but redshift-space distortions reintroduce a 10–20% small-scale suppression of the stacked kSZ signal.

Decaying Dark Matter Halo Abundance from a Revised Spherical Collapse Model
A mass-dependent collapse threshold from a revised spherical collapse model predicts the decaying-dark-matter halo mass function, matching N-body simulations at z≈1 and for mild kicks at z=0.

Floquet Dissipative Phase Transitions
Dissipative phase transitions in Floquet open systems are defined through the Floquet propagator spectrum, with applications to driven Kerr resonators and the quantum Rabi model.

A frequentist view on the two-body decaying dark matter model
A frequentist reanalysis of Planck and KiDS-1000 data shows that a two-body decaying dark matter model can produce S8 values consistent with weak lensing surveys, and that prior choices dominated earlier Bayesian exclusions.

Primordial Sharp Features through the Nonlinear Regime of Structure Formation
Sharp primordial features survive nonlinear structure formation as localised bumps or dips in the matter power spectrum, while their oscillatory patterns are erased, leaving an oscillatory imprint in the halo mass function.
