We study weak gravitational lensing of the cosmic large-scale structure in the 21-cm radiation background using the 3D weak-lensing formalism. The interplay between source distance, visibility, and lensing terms is analyzed in detail, and the resulting total covariance is derived. The effects related to the actual measurement process significantly alter the off-diagonal terms of the total covariance.
We study weak gravitational lensing by the cosmic large-scale structure of the 21-cm radiation background in the 3D weak-lensing formalism. The interplay between source distance measured at finite resolution, visibility, and lensing terms is analysed in detail and the resulting total covariance C-l(k, k') is derived. The effect of lensing correlates different multipoles through convolution, breaking the statistical homogeneity of the 21-cm radiation background. This homogeneity breaking can be exploited to reconstruct the lensing field (phi) over cap (lm)(k, k') and noise-lensing reconstruction N(l)((phi) over cap )by means of quadratic estimators. The effects related to the actual measurement process (redshift precision and visibility terms) change drastically the values of the off-diagonal terms of the total covariance C-l(k, k'). It is expected that the detection of lensing effects on a 21-cm radiation background will require sensitive studies and high-resolution observations by future low-frequency radio arrays such as the SKA survey.
