The first-year WMAP data, in combination with any one of a number of other cosmic probes, show that we live in a flat \Lambda-dominated CDM universe with \Omega_m ~ 0.27 and \Omega_\Lambda ~ 0.73. In this model the late-time action of the…
We study the imprint of a coupling of scalar dark energy to photon on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization. The time-evolving field value as well as the perturbation of the scalar generically induce $B$-mode polarization.…
