本研究开发了基于rho统计量和掩码扫描的无模型方法，验证了立方环面拓扑宇宙中CMB温度梯度的rho与环面尺寸L的线性关系，确定宇宙有限尺寸约为3个哈勃长度，同时证实rho可作为宇宙空间有限性和CMB各向异性的统计特征。

在本研究中，我们开发了一种不依赖模型的方法，用于揭示CMB温度图中的各向异性和几何结构的潜在模式。该方法基于rho统计量和掩码扫描过程，揭示了具有三维环面拓扑的宇宙中CMB各向异性所具有的微弱但持续存在的几何和周期结构。我们评估发现，在大量环面图集合上检测到的模式与预期的天空圆布局在几何上匹配。掩码扫描方法在768个掩码取向上探索了整个CMB，因此我们能够重新验证立方环面的尺寸L与CMB温度梯度归一化方差的标准差rho之间的线性关系。这为具有环面拓扑的宇宙赋予了约3个哈勃长度的有限尺寸s。此外，研究表明，统计各向同性的破坏非常微弱，几乎不会对rho与L之间的线性关系产生影响。像立方环面这样的拓扑结构为我们的宇宙施加了周期条件（可视为周期性边界条件），这些条件约束了整体非均匀度和零平均曲率。我们在此证明，rho不仅是宇宙空间有限性和尺寸的统计特征（无论其拓扑是简单连通还是多重连通），还能借助掩码扫描过程勾勒出CMB各向异性的模式。
英文摘要
In the present work we develop a model--independent method to reveal the underlying patterns of anisotropy and geometry in CMB temperature maps. This method, based on the rho-statistics and a process of mask--sweeping, unveils faint but persistent geometrical and periodic structures characterising the anisotropy of the CMB in a universe with 3-torus topology. We assess that the patterns detected over large ensembles of toroidal maps match geometrically to the layouts of expected circles-in-the-sky. The mask--sweeping method explores the whole CMB over 768 mask orientations. Thus we are able to re-verify the linear relation between L the size of the cubic torus and rho the standard deviation of the normalised variance of the CMB temperature gradient. This confers a finite size s of approximately 3 Hubble lengths to our Universe with toroidal topology. Furthermore, it is shown that the violation of statistical isotropy is so faint that this has almost no influence on the linear relation between rho and L. A topology like the cubic toroidal one imposes to our Universe periodic conditions (that can be seen as periodic boundary conditions) which constrain the global degree of inhomogeneity and a zero average curvature. We demonstrate here that rho is not only a statistical signature of the spatial finiteness and size of our Universe (may its topology be simply or multiply connected) but also outlines the patterns of anisotropy of the CMB with the help of the mask--sweeping process.
