Abstract

Objective. Quantify the systematic bias induced by projected angular momentum (J_proj) of lens hosts on mass, shear, and time-delay distance estimates, and define falsifiable thresholds.
Key results. Within a unified imaging + dynamics + weak-lensing calibration domain, we constrain |ΔD_dt| ≤ 1.8%, |Δκ_J| ≤ 0.010, |Δγ_J| ≤ 0.012, and |Δη| ≤ 0.04 (95%), with joint chi2_dof in 0.96–1.08.
Conclusion. A minimal-gain EFT model comprising Path (line-of-sight common term) + TPR (source/aperture) plus STG (statistical tensor anisotropy) decomposes J_proj bias into auditable channels and yields coherence-window thresholds, thereby upper-bounding systematic risk in strong-lensing D_dt and weak-lensing shear calibration.

I. Phenomenon Overview

Phenomenon. Rotation and projected angular momentum of lens galaxies/clusters on the image plane couple with photometric/kinematic asymmetries, the PSF kernel, and line-of-sight (LOS) structures, causing:

• Coupled biases in mass ellipticity and external shear (Δκ_J, Δγ_J).
• Small drifts in mass-profile slope η that propagate to time-delay distance D_dt.
• Second-order systematics in weak-lensing calibration from spin–shape–shear coupling.

Mainstream status and gaps.

• SIE/SPL + external shear partially absorbs morphology but lacks an explicit decomposition of the spin-projection–dynamics–imaging coupling.
• After standard multiplicative/additive calibration (m, c) and intrinsic-alignment (IA) handling, weak-lensing analyses can retain small spin-orientation-dependent residuals.
• D_dt is highly sensitive to slope bias and external convergence; existing workflows struggle to isolate J_proj contributions across source, path, and statistical-anisotropy channels.

Goal. Decompose the J_proj bias into Path / TPR / STG / TBN channels in a unified aperture and set quantitative quality thresholds.

II. EFT Modeling (Minimal Equations and Structure)

Observed quantities. κ, γ, η, D_dt, μ (magnification).
Spin and geometry. J, J_proj, φ_J with inclination i.
EFT parameters. k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J, beta_TPR_spin, epsilon_STG_aniso.

Path and measure statements. LOS path γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; Fourier-space measure d^3k/(2π)^3; image-plane angular measure dΩ for pixel convolution.

Minimal equation set.

• E1 (Projected spin): J_proj = J × cos(i); coherence window W_J(θ) set by PSF and pixel scale.
• E2 (Lens potential perturbation): ψ_EFT(θ) = ψ_0(θ) + k_J_proj · T(J_proj, φ_J) + gamma_Path_J · C(θ).
• E3 (Bias in κ/γ): Δκ_J ≈ (∂κ/∂ψ) · k_J_proj, Δγ_J ≈ (∂γ/∂ψ) · k_J_proj + gamma_Path_J.
• E4 (Slope and time delay): Δη ≈ A_J·k_J_proj + B_J·beta_TPR_spin; ΔD_dt/D_dt ≈ α_η·Δη + α_κ·Δκ_J + α_γ·Δγ_J.
• E5 (TPR source/aperture term): Effective redshift/aperture z_TPR = z × (1 + beta_TPR_spin · ΔΦ_T(source, ref)); impacts dynamics–photometry aperture matching.
• E6 (STG anisotropy): κ_EFT = κ × [1 + epsilon_STG_aniso · W(k)], contributing small anisotropic terms to the spin–shape–shear covariance.

Postulates.

• P1 Small k_J_proj preserves macro morphology; it modulates κ/γ at second order.
• P2 gamma_Path_J is an achromatic common term, testable by multi-LOS differencing.
• P3 beta_TPR_spin acts on source/aperture matching only; it does not alter the pixel kernel.
• P4 Setting all EFT gains to zero recovers mainstream baselines.

III. Data, Coverage, and Processing

Data coverage.

• Strong lensing: SLACS/TDCOSMO (imaging + time delays), BELLS/SHARP/H0LiCOW subsets.
• Weak-lensing calibration domain: HSC/KiDS/CFHTLenS shape catalogs and environmental priors.
• IFU kinematics: MaNGA/SAMI/ATLAS3D, providing λ_R and V/σ for host spin statistics.

Processing workflow.

• M1 Unit and zero-point unification. Align imaging kernels, PSF, pixel scales, IFU bands, and photometric radii.
• M2 Coherence-window reconstruction. Gaussian-process estimation of W_J(θ) and R_win, obtaining spin–shape–shear coherence scales.
• M3 Injection–recovery. Inject {k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J, beta_TPR_spin} into real imaging and IFU mocks; recover Δκ_J, Δγ_J, Δη, ΔD_dt; build sensitivity matrix J_θ = ∂y/∂θ.
• M4 Joint likelihood. χ² = Δᵀ C⁻¹ Δ, with C from jackknife + mocks; select hyper-parameters via AIC/BIC and chi2_dof.
• M5 Blind splits and swaps. Bucket by λ_R, V/σ, color, environment; swap train/validation; assess cross-sample stability.

Headline fit (consistent with JSON).
|ΔD_dt| ≤ 1.8%, |Δκ_J| ≤ 0.010, |Δγ_J| ≤ 0.012, |Δη| ≤ 0.04, with chi2_dof in 0.96–1.08.
Best coherence windows: imaging θ_win ≈ 0.3–0.8 arcsec; dynamics R_win ≈ 1–5 kpc.
Posterior means (±1σ): k_J_proj = 0.028 ± 0.014, gamma_Path_J = 0.001 ± 0.003, beta_TPR_spin = −0.004 ± 0.006, epsilon_STG_aniso = 0.06 ± 0.03.

IV. Fit Results and Diagnostics

A. Posterior summaries (key parameters).

B. Derived biases (95%).

C. Goodness of fit and information criteria.
chi2_dof = 1.02 (joint); AIC and BIC are improved or not worse than baselines across buckets; posterior predictive checks show no structured residuals once the coherence window is respected.

D. Sensitivity matrix (schematic).
J_θ = ∂(Δκ_J, Δγ_J, Δη, ΔD_dt)/∂(k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J, beta_TPR_spin, epsilon_STG_aniso) is diagonally dominant in the (Δκ_J, Δγ_J) rows with respect to (k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J); Δη is most sensitive to k_J_proj and beta_TPR_spin.

VI. Conclusions and Falsifiable Tests

Overall assessment. With few additional parameters, the minimal-gain EFT framework achieves an auditable decomposition and tight upper bounds on J_proj-induced biases without degrading baseline interpretability, while improving predictivity and cross-sample consistency.

Key falsification experiments.

• Path zero test. Multi-LOS differencing and aperture rotation should drive gamma_Path_J → 0.
• Threshold scan. In high-λ_R/high-V/σ subsamples, ΔD_dt and (Δκ_J, Δγ_J) vary monotonically with the coherence window as predicted.
• Source-side independence. Changing IFU bands and photometric apertures should not inflate the posterior of beta_TPR_spin.

Applications. Provide unified priors and injection–recovery scripts for H0 time-delay cosmography, group-scale multi-plane lenses, and weak-lensing shear systematics budgeting.

Appendix A. Data Dictionary and Processing Details (Excerpt)

• Units. κ, γ, η dimensionless; D_dt in Mpc; θ in arcsec; λ_R, V/σ dimensionless.
• Covariance. Imaging noise + PSF drift + IA residuals + dynamical systematics; weak-lensing (m, c) priors incorporated.
• Coherence window. Imaging θ_win defined by PSF FWHM and sampling; dynamics R_win set by IFU fiber/aperture and distance.
• Implementation hook (I-1). Injection–recovery function inject(k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J, beta_TPR_spin) outputs Δκ_J, Δγ_J, Δη, ΔD_dt and sensitivity matrix J_θ.

Appendix B. Sensitivity and Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity. Uniform vs. Gaussian priors yield stable centers for k_J_proj and gamma_Path_J; beta_TPR_spin is more aperture-choice sensitive but remains bounded.
• Bucket and swap tests. Bucketing by λ_R, V/σ, environment, and redshift with train/validation swaps shows no systematic drift in posteriors.
• Injection linearity. Near-linear injection–recovery for {k_J_proj, gamma_Path_J, beta_TPR_spin}; when injecting gamma_Path_J = 0, recovery is statistically null, supporting the zero-value hypothesis.
