Equivalence of the Fermat potential and the lensing potential approaches to computing the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We show in detail that the recently derived expression for evaluating the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) temperature shift in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) caused by individual embedded (compensated) lenses is equivalent to the conventional approach for flat background cosmologies. The conventional approach requires evaluating an integral of the time derivative of the lensing potential, whereas the new Fermat potential approach is simpler and only requires taking a derivative of the potential part of the time delay.
