This thesis sheds valuable new light on the second-order cosmological perturbation theory, extensively discussing it in the context of cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations. It explores the observational consequences of the second-order vector mode, and addresses magnetic field generation and the weak lensing signatures, which are key phenomena of the vector mode.

The author demonstrates that the second-order vector mode, which never appears at the linear-order level, naturally arises from the non-linear coupling of the first-order scalar modes. This leads to the remarkable statement that the vector-order mode clearly contributes to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields. Moreover, the weak lensing observations are shown to be accessible to the vector mode. On the basis of ongoing and forthcoming observations, the thesis concludes that the second-order vector mode is detectable.

Dr. Shohei Saga is a JSPS research Fellow at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University. His work mainly involves observational cosmology. He received his Bachelor of Science from Nagoya University in 2012, and his Master and Doctor of Science from the Department of Physics, Nagoya University in 2014 and 2017, respectively.  In March 2014, he was awarded the 2013 Dean Prize by the Department of Physics, Nagoya University.
