No evidence for EDE from Planck data in extended scenarios
  The latest data release from the ACT CMB experiment (in combination with
previous WMAP data) shows evidence for an Early Dark Energy component at more
than $3$ standard deviations. The same conclusion has been recently shown to
hold when temperature data from the Planck experiment limited to intermediate
angular scales ($l \le 650$) are included while it vanishes when the full
Planck dataset is considered. However, it has been shown that the full Planck
dataset exhibits an anomalous lensing component and a preference for a closed
universe at the level of three standard deviation. It is therefore of utmost
importance to investigate if these anomalies could anti-correlate with an early
dark energy component and hide its presence during the process of parameter
extraction. Here we demonstrate that extended parameters choices as curvature,
equation of state of dark energy and lensing amplitude $A_L$ have no impact on
the Planck constraints on EDE. In practice, EDE does not solve Planck angular
spectra anomalies. This indicates that current CMB evidence for an EDE
component comes essentially from the ACT-DR4 dataset.
