We perform a joint analysis of the abundance, the clustering and thegalaxy-galaxy lensing signal of galaxies measured from Data Release 11 of theSloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSSIII-BOSS) in our companion paper, Miyatake et al. (2014). The lensing signalwas obtained by using the shape catalog of background galaxies from the CanadaFrance Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey, which was made publicly available by theCFHTLenS collaboration, with an area overlap of about 105 deg$^2$. We analysethe data in the framework of the halo model in order to fit halo occupationparameters and cosmological parameters ($\Omega_{\rm m}$ and $\sigma_8$) tothese observables simultaneously, and thus break the degeneracy between galaxybias and cosmology. Adopting a flat $\Lambda$CDM cosmology with priors on$\Omega_b h^2$, $n_{\rm s}$ and $h$ from the analysis of WMAP 9-year data, weobtain constraints on the stellar mass-halo mass relation of galaxies in oursample. Marginalizing over the halo occupation distribution parameters and anumber of other nuisance parameters in our model, we obtain $\Omega_{\rmm}=0.310^{+0.019}_{-0.020}$ and $\sigma_8=0.785^{+0.044}_{-0.044}$ (68%confidence). We demonstrate the robustness of our results with respect tosample selection and a variety of systematics such as the halo off-centeringeffect and possible incompleteness in our sample. Our constraints areconsistent, complementary and competitive with those obtained using otherindependent probes of these cosmological parameters. The cosmological analysisis the first of its kind to be performed at a redshift as high as $0.53$.
