We compute the weak lensing convergence power spectrum, $C^{\kappa\kappa}(\theta)$, in a dust-filled universe using fully non-linear general relativistic simulations. The spectrum is then compared to more standard, approximate calculations by computing the Bardeen (Newtonian) potentials in linearized gravity and utilizing the Born approximation. We find corrections to the angular power spectrum amplitude of order ten percent at very large angular scales, $\ell ~ 2-3$, and percent-level corrections at intermediate angular scales of $\ell ~ 20-30$.

  1. Impact of inhomogeneous curvature on growth rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Full-GR simulations find that inhomogeneous curvature produces only sub-dominant systematic offsets in growth-rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations at z ≲ 0.2 relative to current statistical errors.

  2. On the potential for inhomogeneities to mimic an evolving dark energy

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical simulations show that inhomogeneities in a LambdaCDM universe can lead some observers to infer evolving dark energy parameters consistent with DESI at 2-sigma.
