Homology reveals significant anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background
We test the tenet of statistical isotropy of the standard cosmological model via a homology analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps in galactic coordinates. The map pixels were normalized by subtracting the mean and rescaling by standard deviation, both of which were computed from the relevant unmasked …
