We infer the connection between the stellar mass of galaxies from the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey, and their dark matter halo masses and its evolution in two bins of redshifts between [0.3, 0.8]. We use the measurements of the weak lensing signal of galaxies using background sources from the Year 1 shape catalog from the HSC survey. We bin galaxies in stellar mass with varying thresholds ranging from 8.6 ≤log[ M_*/(h⁻² M_⊙)] ≤11.2 and use stringent cuts in the selection of source galaxies to measure the weak lensing signal. We model these measurements of the weak lensing signal together with the abundance of galaxies in the halo occupation distribution framework. We obtain constraints on the halo occupation parameters of central galaxies Mₘᵢₙ and σ_(logM), which correspond to the halo mass at which central galaxies for each threshold sample reach half occupancy, and its scatter, respectively, along with parameters that describe the occupation of the satellite galaxies. The measurements of abundance and weak lensing individually constrain different degeneracy directions in the Mₘᵢₙ and σ_(logM) plane, thus breaking the degeneracy in these parameters. We demonstrate that the weak lensing measurements are best able to constrain the average central halo masses, ⟨M_(cen) ⟩. We compare our measurements to those obtained using the abundance and clustering of these galaxies as well as the subhalo abundance matching measurements and demonstrate qualitative agreement. We find that the galaxy-dark matter connection does not vary significantly between redshift bins we explore in this study. Uncertainties in the photometric redshift of the lens galaxies imply that more efforts are required to understand the true underlying stellar mass-halo mass relation of galaxies and its evolution over cosmic epoch.
