On scales larger than few arcminutes, the millimeter sky is dominated by CMB

temperature fluctuations.

A significant fraction of these CMB photons encode a wealth of information about its

interaction with the local matter distribution (eg lensing, SZ, ISW or Rees-Sciama

effects).

On smaller scales, the millimeter sky is dominated by high redshift star forming

galaxies (see talk by D.H.Hughes). All this provides a complementary tool to

optical/IR view of the universe

How to get Dark Energy from the millimeter

sky:

- Modeling cosmological parameters with the acoustic peaks GTM?.

- Normalization of CMB fluctuations from recombination to today (sigma_8).

- Volume dV/dz: eg optical/spect follow-up (GTC) of SZ Cluster Surveys (GTM).

- CMB lensing/polarization surveys.

- Star formation history of the universe (GTM).

- Cross-correlating optical/IR objects with CMB fluctuations.

• bias from gal-gal correlation:

• Agree with z-evolution of ISW effect ( ~ 0.8)

• At smaller scales (1 deg) and low-z signal drops, indicating SZ.

• No foreground contamination: clean, W and V-bands.

• => = 0.69-0.87 ( 2-sigma) with SDSS+APM
