摘要:

精确测量的宇宙微波背景(CMB)波动图提供了通过对数据中的非统计各向同性(nSI)特征进行系统的可观测测量来检验宇宙统计各向同性(SI)原理的可能性。最近对CMB温度场的测量提供了偏离SI的诱人证据。基于强有力的数学公式的系统方法允许将任何nSI特征追溯到已知的物理效应或观测伪影。无法解释的nSI特征可能会对宇宙学的标准模型产生巨大的宇宙学影响。BipoSH(双极球谐函数)提供了一种通用的形式主义,用于量化2D球体上的场与统计各向同性的偏离。我们采用了一个已知的减少的BipoSH功能,被称为最小谐波(Manakov等1996)。我们证明,这种减少技术的BipoSH导致一个新的广义的一组各向同性的角度关联函数(mBipoSH),是可观察到的量化的nSI功能的天空地图。我们发现,任何nSI功能的CMB地图中捕获的双极多$L$与投影$M$的BipoSH可以研究$(L+1)$ mBipoSH角关联函数的情况下,偶奇偶校验和$L$功能的情况下,奇奇偶校验。在这封信中,我们提出了一种新的可观察到的量化偏离统计各向同性的广义角关联函数,是紧凑的和互补的BipoSH光谱,概括角功率谱CMB波动。

英文摘要:

The exquisitely measured maps of fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) present the possibility to test the principle of Statistical Isotropy (SI) of the Universe through systematic observable measures for non-Statistical Isotropy (nSI) features in the data. Recent measurements of the CMB temperature field provide tantalizing evidence of the deviation from SI. A systematic approach based on strong mathematical formulation allows any nSI feature to be traced to known physical effects or observational artefacts. Unexplained nSI features could have immense cosmological ramifications for the standard model of cosmology. BipoSH (Bipolar Spherical Harmonics) provides a general formalism for quantifying the departure from statistical isotropy for a field on a 2D sphere. We adopt a known reduction of the BipoSH functions, dubbed Minimal Harmonics (Manakov et al. 1996). We demonstrate that this reduction technique of BipoSH leads to a new generalized set of isotropic angular correlation functions (mBipoSH) that are observable quantifications of nSI features in a sky map. We show that any nSI feature in the CMB map captured by BipoSH at the bipolar multiple $L$ with projection $M$ can be studied by $(L+1)$ mBipoSH angular correlation functions in case of even parity and by $L$ functions in case of odd parity. We present in this letter a novel observable quantification of deviation from statistical isotropy in terms of generalized angular correlation functions that are compact and complementary to the BipoSH spectra that generalize angular power spectrum CMB fluctuations.
