abstract

The effects of gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been measured at high significance with existing data and will be measured even more precisely in future surveys. Reversing the effects of lensing on the observed CMB temperature and polarization maps provides a variety of benefits. Delensed CMB spectra have sharper acoustic peaks and more prominent damping tails, allowing for improved inferences of cosmological parameters that impact those features. Delensing reduces $B$-mode power, aiding the search for primordial gravitational waves and allowing for lower variance reconstruction of lensing and other sources of secondary CMB anisotropies. Lensing-induced power spectrum covariances are reduced by delensing, simplifying analyses and improving constraints on primordial non-Gaussianities. Biases that result from incorrectly modeling nonlinear and baryonic feedback effects on the lensing power spectrum are mitigated by delensing. All of these benefits are possible without any changes to experimental or survey design. We develop a self-consistent, iterative, all-orders treatment of CMB delensing on the curved sky and demonstrate the impact that delensing will have with future surveys.

  1. On likelihood-based analysis of the gravitationally (de)lensed CMB

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The exact lensing spectrum score is a posterior-averaged quadratic estimator on delensed maps with realization-dependent debiasing, plus a small 2-point term degenerate with CMB spectra.

  2. Characterising the epoch of reionisation using the cross-correlation of the kSZ effect and CMB lensing

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The kSZ-squared field cross-correlated with CMB lensing is a new observable that, in simulations, is sensitive to the duration and midpoint of reionisation and could be detected by a CMB-HD-like experiment.

  3. Towards a multi-tracer neutrino mass measurement with line-intensity mapping

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AtLAST [CII] line-intensity mapping, combined with CMB-S4 and DESI BAO forecasts, could reach sigma(sum m_nu) ~ 18 meV, and ~11.5 meV with a 21-cm tau prior.

  4. Neutrino Mass Constraints from kSZ Tomography

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    kSZ tomography will add little to neutrino mass constraints from Stage IV surveys unless the kSZ optical depth degeneracy is broken.

  5. Stage IV CMB forecasts for warm inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Future CMB surveys are forecast to tighten the dissipation parameter of quartic warm inflation by up to an order of magnitude and to exclude the cubic dissipation model under a null tensor-to-scalar ratio.
