Testable polarization predictions for models of CMB isotropy anomalies
Testable polarization predictions for models of CMB isotropy anomalies
Anomalies in the large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature sky measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe have been suggested as possible evidence for a violation of statistical isotropy on large scales. In any physical model for broken isotropy, there are testable consequences for the CMB polarization field. We develop …
