大爆炸前的宇宙有回声吗?寻找CMB天空中的低方差圆

Are There Echoes From The Pre-Big Bang Universe? A Search for Low Variance Circles in the CMB Sky

Amir Hajian

摘要:

在宇宙微波背景辐射的天空中存在低方差的同心圆,这是由大爆炸前的一个亿万年中的黑洞相遇所产生的,是共形循环宇宙学的一个预测。Gurzadyan和Penrose(2010年)最近报告了在WMAP数据中检测到三个这样的圆圈家族。我们重新评估这些圆圈的统计意义,通过比较与蒙特卡罗模拟的CMB天空与现实的建模WMAP数据中的各向异性噪声。我们发现这些圆并不是反常的,并且这三组圆在3sigma水平上都与暴胀宇宙学模型所预言的高斯CMB天空一致。

英文摘要:

The existence of concentric low variance circles in the CMB sky, generated by black-hole encounters in an aeon preceding our big bang, is a prediction of the Conformal Cyclic Cosmology. Detection of three families of such circles in WMAP data was recently reported by Gurzadyan & Penrose (2010). We reassess the statistical significance of those circles by comparing with Monte Carlo simulations of the CMB sky with realistic modeling of the anisotropic noise in WMAP data. We find that the circles are not anomalous and that all three groups are consistent at 3sigma level with a Gaussian CMB sky as predicted by inflationary cosmology model.
