Scientific paper

We study how CMB bispectrum, produced by weak gravitational lensing and structure formation, can constrain the redshift evolution of the dark energy equation of state independently on its present value. Analyzing the line of sight contribution to the angular CMB bispectrum, we find that the relevant redshift at which the structure formation contributes to the signal is $0.1 \lsim z \lsim 2$ for multipoles $1000 \gsim l \gsim 100$: just the epoch when the dark energy starts to dominate the cosmological expansion rate. For scenarios having the same equation of state at the present, this turns out to be a new observable capable to discriminate between models of dark energy with different time evolution of equation of state. We assess the strength of this effetc within the framework of tracking Quintessence trajectories obeying SUGRA and Ratra-Peebles potentials.
