大尺度各向同性破缺宇宙模型的宇宙微波背景约束

Cosmic microwave background constraints on cosmological models with large-scale isotropy breaking

Haoxuan Zheng, Emory F. Bunn

摘要:

在WMAP的大角度宇宙微波背景(CMB)各向异性图中似乎存在一些异常,包括大尺度多极的排列。各向同性自发破坏的模型(例如,通过标量场)被提出来解释这些异常,正如在暴胀期间施加优选方向的模型一样。我们研究模型的启发,其中各向同性被打破了一个倍增因子与偶极和/或四极项。我们使用贝叶斯框架评估多极对齐提供的证据,发现支持该模型的证据一般较弱。我们还计算近似的变化,估计宇宙学参数的破缺各向同性模型。只有功率谱的整体归一化被显著修改。

英文摘要:

Several anomalies appear to be present in the large-angle cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy maps of WMAP, including the alignment of large-scale multipoles. Models in which isotropy is spontaneously broken (e.g., by a scalar field) have been proposed as explanations for these anomalies, as have models in which a preferred direction is imposed during inflation. We examine models inspired by these, in which isotropy is broken by a multiplicative factor with dipole and/or quadrupole terms. We evaluate the evidence provided by the multipole alignment using a Bayesian framework, finding that the evidence in favor of the model is generally weak. We also compute approximate changes in estimated cosmological parameters in the broken-isotropy models. Only the overall normalization of the power spectrum is modified significantly.
