Parity-violating CMB correlators with non-decaying statistical anisotropy

Nicola Bartolo, Sabino Matarrese, Marco Peloso +1

We examine the cosmological correlators induced by the simultaneous breaking of parity and of statistical isotropy, e.g., in presence of the coupling ${\cal L} = f(ϕ) ( - \frac{1}{…
