abstract
Strong lensing is a powerful tool to address three major astrophysical issues: understanding the spatial distribution of mass at kpc and sub-kpc scale, where baryons and dark matter interact to shape galaxies as we see them; determining the overall geometry, content, and kinematics of the universe; studying distant galaxies, black holes, and active nuclei that are too small or too faint to be resolved or detected with current instrumentation. After summarizing strong gravitational lensing fundamentals, I present a selection of recent important results. I conclude by discussing the exciting prospects of strong gravitational lensing in the next decade.

GenSBI delivers JAX-native implementations of generative SBI methods with transformer backbones and reports near-ideal calibration scores on standard benchmarks.
A method using Balrog synthetic injections corrects spatially variable detection and classification rates in DES Y3 data, reducing relative detection rate standard deviation by a factor of five and lowering bias in stellar stream density power spectra.
A subhalo of M200 = 2.78e10 solar masses and concentration 30 is detected at 5.8 sigma in PJ011646 via ALMA imaging and grid-based NFW search after fitting an elliptical power-law plus multipole macromodel.
Nonlocal black holes remain consistent with general relativity at the 1.13-sigma level after joint lensing and quasinormal-mode constraints.
Simulations indicate joint Taiji+LISA analysis of five SLGW events yields H0 95% credible interval uncertainties of 0.11 (source redshift unknown) or 0.042 (source redshift known).
Using HBI on GWTC-4 data the authors compute lensed SGWBs for ABHs and PBHs and conclude that LIGO and ET can distinguish the two formation channels in specific frequency ranges, with ET offering broader coverage.
Bayesian hierarchical modeling of photometric redshifts in KiDS+VIKING-450 raises S8 to 0.756 ± 0.039 and reduces Planck tension to 1.9σ.
MUST is a planned 6.5m Stage-V spectroscopic survey telescope targeting 100M+ galaxies and quasars to z~5.5 for large-scale structure cosmology studies.
