在CMB天空中CCC预测的同心低方差圆
On CCC-predicted concentric low-variance circles in the CMB sky
摘要：
使用WMAP数据对CMB进行的一项新分析支持较早的低温变化同心圆非高斯特征的迹象。共形循环宇宙学（CCC）从宇宙大爆炸之前的一个亿万年中遇到的超大质量黑洞中预测了这些特征。个别低方差圆的真实数据的意义一直存在争议，但最近的独立分析证实了CCC的预期，CMB圆有一个非高斯温度分布。在这里，我们研究同心套低方差圆环的WMAP数据，发现一个高度非各向同性的分布。一个新的“天空扭曲”程序，直接分析WMAP数据，没有呼吁模拟，表明这些同心集的流行取决于环是圆形的，而不是甚至稍微椭圆形，数字急剧下降，随着椭圆度的增加。这与CCC的预期是一致的;同样重要的事实是，尽管发现一些环的半径达到了$15^\circ$左右，但没有一个超过$20^\circ$。同心集合的非各向同性分布可以与先前已知的异常和非高斯CMB特征相关联。
英文摘要：
A new analysis of the CMB, using WMAP data, supports earlier indications of non-Gaussian features of concentric circles of low temperature variance. Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) predicts such features from supermassive black-hole encounters in an aeon preceding our Big Bang. The significance of individual low-variance circles in the true data has been disputed; yet a recent independent analysis has confirmed CCC's expectation that CMB circles have a non-Gaussian temperature distribution. Here we examine concentric sets of low-variance circular rings in the WMAP data, finding a highly non-isotropic distribution. A new "sky-twist" procedure, directly analysing WMAP data, without appeal to simulations, shows that the prevalence of these concentric sets depends on the rings being circular, rather than even slightly elliptical, numbers dropping off dramatically with increasing ellipticity. This is consistent with CCC's expectations; so also is the crucial fact that whereas some of the rings' radii are found to reach around $15^\circ$, none exceed $20^\circ$. The non-isotropic distribution of the concentric sets may be linked to previously known anomalous and non-Gaussian CMB features.
