原始非高斯性的形状与CMB双谱

The shape of primordial non-Gaussianity and the CMB bispectrum

J. R. Fergusson, E. P. S. Shellard

摘要:

我们提出了一套形式化的比较,发展和约束原始非高斯模型通过CMB双谱。我们描述了改进的方法,有效地计算任何一般(不可分离)原始双谱的完整CMB双谱,结合一个平坦的天空近似和一个新的三次插值。我们回顾了现有文献中的所有原始非高斯模型,并计算了每种不同模型的CMB双谱,直到l <2000。这使我们能够通过计算CMB双谱的互相关来确定这些模型的观测独立性。我们能够识别几个不同类别的原始形状-包括等边,局部,温暖,平坦和功能(非尺度不变)-这应该是可区分的CMB非高斯性的显着检测。我们证明了一个简单的形状相关器提供了一个快速和可靠的方法来确定是否CMB形状是相关的。我们使用原始形状的本征模分解来解释和理解模型独立性。最后,我们主张一个标准化的规范化方法$f_{NL}$的基础上的形状自相关器,使观测极限和误差可以一致地比较不同的模型。

英文摘要:

We present a set of formalisms for comparing, evolving and constraining primordial non-Gaussian models through the CMB bispectrum. We describe improved methods for efficient computation of the full CMB bispectrum for any general (non-separable) primordial bispectrum, incorporating a flat sky approximation and a new cubic interpolation. We review all the primordial non-Gaussian models in the present literature and calculate the CMB bispectrum up to l <2000 for each different model. This allows us to determine the observational independence of these models by calculating the cross-correlation of their CMB bispectra. We are able to identify several distinct classes of primordial shapes - including equilateral, local, warm, flat and feature (non-scale invariant) - which should be distinguishable given a significant detection of CMB non-Gaussianity. We demonstrate that a simple shape correlator provides a fast and reliable method for determining whether or not CMB shapes are well correlated. We use an eigenmode decomposition of the primordial shape to characterise and understand model independence. Finally, we advocate a standardised normalisation method for $f_{NL}$ based on the shape autocorrelator, so that observational limits and errors can be consistently compared for different models.
