Detection of Gravitational Lensing in the Cosmic Microwave Background
read the original abstract
Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a long-standing prediction of the standard cosmolgical model, is ultimately expected to be an important source of cosmological information, but first detection has not been achieved to date. We report a 3.4 sigma detection, by applying quadratic estimator techniques to all sky maps from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite, and correlating the result with radio galaxy counts from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS). We present our methodology including a detailed discussion of potential contaminants. Our error estimates include systematic uncertainties from density gradients in NVSS, beam effects in WMAP, Galactic microwave foregrounds, resolved and unresolved CMB point sources, and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Measurement of the DR6 CMB Lensing Power Spectrum and its Implications for Structure Growth
ACT DR6 yields a 2.3% precise CMB lensing power spectrum with A_lens = 1.013 ± 0.023 relative to Planck 2018 Lambda CDM, giving S8 = 0.818 ± 0.022 and no evidence for suppressed structure growth.

CMB Lensing Reconstruction Using Two Years of Temperature Data from the SPT-3G Summer Survey
First CMB lensing reconstruction from two years of SPT-3G Summer temperature data yields A_comb = 1.015 ± 0.053 over 50 < L < 2000, consistent with Planck 2018 ΛCDM.

Constraining primordial non-Gaussianity from DESI DR1 quasars and Planck PR4 CMB Lensing
Cross-correlation of DESI DR1 quasars with Planck PR4 CMB lensing constrains local f_NL to 2^{+28}_{-34} (p=1.6) or 6^{+20}_{-24} (p=1.0), tightening previous limits by 35%.

CMB lensing from Planck PR4 maps
Planck PR4 maps with optimal filtering yield CMB lensing amplitude 1.004 ± 0.024 and σ8 Ωm^0.25 = 0.599 ± 0.016, the tightest lensing constraint yet.

Constraints on Cosmic Strings from the Curl-Mode CMB Lensing Power Spectrum measured by ACT DR6
ACT DR6 curl lensing yields 2σ bounds Gμ P^{-1} ≤ 3.5×10^{-5} (small-P) and Gμ ≤ 5.0×10^{-5} (P=1), tightened further with Planck 2013 data.
