Probing the Cosmological Principle with CMB lensing and cosmic shear. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2026(01), p.023.https://hdl.handle.net/10566/22899The standard cosmological model assumes the Cosmological Principle. However, recent observations hint at possible violations of isotropy on large scales, possibly through latetime anisotropic expansion. Here we investigate the potential of cross-correlations between CMB lensing convergence κ and galaxy cosmic shear B-modes as a novel probe of such late-time anisotropies. Our signal-to-noise forecasts reveal that information from the κ-B cross-correlation is primarily contained on large angular scales (ℓ ≲ 200). We find that this cross-correlation for a Euclid-like galaxy survey is sensitive to anisotropy at the percent level. Making use of tomography yields a modest improvement of ∼ 20% in detection power. Incorporating the galaxy E-B cross-correlations would further enhance these constraints.enCMBR experimentsgravitational lensingredshift surveysweak gravitational lensingArticle
