CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER THOUGHTS We can extract valuable information from the lensed CMB spectra The B-modes are the most faithful tracer of the dark energy behaviour at intermediate redshifts and can discriminate among models Our computational machinery allows us to predict the lensing effect in a wide range of models We expect to be able to rule out or select models thanks to the next generation of CMB polarization-devoted experiments There are a lot of connected future directions still to be fully exploited
