Analytic Minkowski Functionals of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Second-order Non-Gaussianity with Bispectrum and Trispectrum

Abstract

Analytic formulas of Minkowski functionals in two-dimensional random fields are derived, including effects of second-order non-Gaussianity in the presence of both the bispectrum and trispectrum. The set of formulas provides a promising method to constrain the primordial non-Gaussianity of the universe by temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation. In a case of local-type non-Gaussianity, the Minkowski functionals are analytically given by powers of quadratic and cubic parameters, $f_{\mathrm{NL}}$ and $g_{\mathrm{NL}}$. Our formulas are not restricted to this particular model, and applicable to a wide class of non-Gaussian models. The analytic formulas are compared to numerical evaluations from non-Gaussian realizations of temperature maps, showing very good agreements.
