CMB lensing bi-spectrum: assessing analytical predictions against full-sky lensing simulations

Toshiya Namikawa, Benjamin Bose, François R. Bouchet +2

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing is an integrated effect whose kernel is greater than half the peak value in the range . Measuring this effect offers a powerful too…

Impact of nonlinear growth of the large-scale structure on CMB B-mode delensing

Toshiya Namikawa, Ryuichi Takahashi

We study the impact of the nonlinear growth of the large-scale structure (LSS) on the removal of the gravitational lensing effect (delensing) in cosmic microwave background (CMB) $…

On the effect of non-Gaussian lensing deflections on CMB lensing measurements

Vanessa Böhm, Blake D. Sherwin, Jia Liu +3

We investigate the impact of non-Gaussian lensing deflections on measurements of the CMB lensing power spectrum. We find that the false assumption of their Gaussianity significantl…

The CMB lensing bi-spectrum as a probe of modified gravity theories

Toshiya Namikawa, François R. Bouchet, Atsushi Taruya

Cosmological structures grow differently in theories of gravity which are modified as compared to Einstein's General relativity (GR). Cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuation…
