Abstract

We investigate weak lensing effect on cosmic microwave background (CMB) in the presence of dipole anisotropy. The approach of flat-sky approximation is considered. We determine the functions σ02\sigma_0^2 and σ22\sigma_2^2 that appear in expressions of the lensed CMB power spectrum in the presence of a dipole anisotropy. We determine the correction to B-mode power spectrum which is found to be appreciable at low multipoles (ll). However, the temperature and E-mode power spectrum are not altered significantly.
