4So why does it matter?
- 2arcmin ell 3000- on small scales CMB is
very smooth so lensing dominates the linear
signal - Deflection angles coherent over 300/(14000/2)
2 - comparable to CMB scales- expect

Nearly white BB spectrum on large scales
Lensing effect can be largely subtracted if only
scalar modes lensing present, but approximate
and complicated (especially posterior
statistics).Hirata, Seljak astro-ph/0306354,

11Non-Gaussianity
- Unlensed CMB expected to be close to Gaussian
- With lensing
- For a FIXED lensing field, lensed field also
Gaussian - For VARYING lensing field, lensed field is
non-Gaussian
Three point function Bispectrum lt T T T gt
- Zero unless correlation ltT ?gt
- Large scale signal from ISW-induced T- ?
correlation - Small scale signal from non-linear SZ ?
correlation
Zaldarriaga astro-ph/9910498, GoldbergSpergel,
etc
12- Trispectrum Connected four-point lt T T T Tgtc
- Depends on deflection angle and temperature
power spectra - Easily measurable for accurate ell gt 1000
observations
Zaldarriaga astro-ph/9910498 Hu astro-ph/0105117
Other signatures
- correlated hot-spot ellipticities
- Higher n-point functions
- Polarization non-Gaussianity
13Confusion with primordial non-Gaussianity?
- lensing only moves points around, so
distribution at a point Gaussian - But complicated by beam effects
Kesden, Cooray, Kamionkowski astro-ph/0208325
- ISW-lensing correlation only significant on
very large scales
- SZ-lensing correlation can dominate on very
small scales
- On larger scales oscillatory primordial signal
should be easily distinguishable with Planck if
large enough

14Basic inflation- most signalin long thin
quadrilaterals
Lensing- broader distribution, lesssignal in
thin shapes
Komatsu astro-ph/0602099
Hu astro-ph/0105117
Can only detect inflation signal from cosmic
variance if fNL gt 20
Lensing probably not main problem for flat
quadrilaterals if single-field non-Gaussianity
No analysis of relative shape-dependence from
e.g. curvaton??
15Cluster CMB lensinge.g. to constrain cosmology
via number counts
Lewis King, astro-ph/0512104
Following Seljak, Zaldarriaga, Dodelson, Vale,
Holder, etc.
CMB very smooth on small scales approximately a
gradient
What we see
Last scattering surface
GALAXYCLUSTER
0.1 degrees
Need sensitive arcminute resolution observations
16RMS gradient 13 µK / arcmindeflection from
cluster 1 arcmin
Lensing signal 10 µK
BUT depends on CMB gradient behind a given
cluster
Unlensed
Lensed
Difference
Unlensed CMB unknown, but statistics well
understood (background CMB Gaussian)
can compute likelihood of given lens (e.g. NFW
parameters) essentially exactly
17Add polarization observations?
Difference after cluster lensing
Unlensed TQU
Less sample variance but signal 10x smaller
need 10x lower noise
Note E and B equally useful on these scales
gradient could be either
18Complications
- Temperature - Thermal SZ, dust, etc. (frequency
subtractable) - Kinetic SZ (big problem?) -
Moving lens effect (velocity Rees-Sciama,
dipole-like) - Background Doppler signals -
Other lenses
- Polarization - Quadrupole scattering (lt
0.1µK)- Re-scattered thermal SZ (freq)- Kinetic
SZ (higher order)- Other lensesGenerally much
cleaner
19Is CMB lensing better than galaxy lensing?
- Assume background galaxy shapes random before
lensing - Measure ellipticity after lensing by cluster
Lensing
- On average ellipticity measures reduced shear
- Shear is ?ab ?lta abgt
- Constrain cluster parameters from predicted shear
- Assume numerous systematics negligible
20Optimistic Futuristic CMB polarization lensing vs
galaxy lensingLess massive case M 2 x 1014
h-1 Msun, c5
CMB polarization only (0.07 µK arcmin noise)
Galaxies (500 gal/arcmin2)
21Summary
- Weak lensing of the CMB very important for
precision cosmology- changes power spectra-
potential confusion with primordial gravitational
waves for r lt 10-3- Non-Gaussian signal, but
well known and probably not main problem - Cluster lensing of CMB- Temperature lensing
difficult because of confusions- CMB
polarisation lensing needs high sensitivity but
potentially useful at high redshift- galaxy
lensing expected to be much better for low
redshift clusters- CMB lensing has quite
different systematics to galaxy lensing

(neglect non-Gaussianity of lensed field)
Lewis 2005,astro-ph/0502469
Important effect, but using lensed CMB power
spectrum gets right answer
Parameters can be improved using BB/lensing
reconstruction non-Gaussianity important in the
future c.f. Wayne Hus talk
