In combination with BAO measurements (from SDSS and 6dF), we obtain the amplitude of matter fluctuations $\\sigma_8 = 0.819 \\pm 0.015$ at 1.8% precision, $S_8\\equiv\\sigma_8({\\Omega_{\\rm m}}/0.3)^{0.5}=0.840\\pm0.028$ and the Hubble constant $H_0= (68.3 \\pm 1.1)\\, \\text{km}\\,\\text{s}^{-1}\\,\\text{Mpc}^{-1}$ at 1.6% precision. A joint constraint with CMB lensing measured by the Planck satellite yields even more precise values: $\\sigma_8 = 0.812 \\pm 0.013$, $S_8\\equiv\\sigma_8({\\Omega_{\\rm m}}/0.3)^{0.5}=0.831\\pm0.023$ and $H_0= (68.1 \\pm 1.0)\\, \\text{km}\\,\\text{s}^{-1}\\,\\text{Mpc}^{-1}$. These measurements agree well with $\\Lambda$CDM-model extrapolations from the CMB anisotropies measured by Planck. To compare these constraints to those from the KiDS, DES, and HSC galaxy surveys, we revisit those data sets with a uniform set of assumptions, and find $S_8$ from all three surveys are lower than that from ACT+Planck lensing by varying levels ranging from 1.7-2.1$\\sigma$. These results motivate further measurements and comparison, not just between the CMB anisotropies and galaxy lensing, but also between CMB lensing probing $z\\sim 0.5-5$ on mostly-linear scales and galaxy lensing at $z\\sim 0.5$ on smaller scales. We combine our CMB lensing measurements with CMB anisotropies to constrain extensions of $\\Lambda$CDM, limiting the sum of the neutrino masses to $\\sum m_{\\nu} < 0.13$ eV (95% c.l.), for example. Our results provide independent confirmation that the universe is spatially flat, conforms with general relativity, and is described remarkably well by the $\\Lambda$CDM model, while paving a promising path for neutrino physics with gravitational lensing from upcoming ground-based CMB surveys.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.05203v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.05203v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-atacama-cosmology-telescope-dr6","repo_url":"https://github.com/actcollaboration/act_dr6_lenslike","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
