    Abstract

    CMB lensing is the leading non-linear effect on the CMB: it smooths the acoustic peaks and produces both B-mode polarization and a large non-Gaussian signal. I'll explain the various effects, and how we can use observations to reconstruct the lensing potential and hence delens the observed B-modes.
