Compensation for large tensor modes with iso-curvature perturbations in CMB anisotropies

Abstract

Recently, BICEP2 has reported the large tensor-to-scalar ratio $r=0.2_{-0.05}^{+0.07}$ from the observation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) B-mode at degree-scales. Since tensor modes induce not only CMB B-mode but also the temperature fluctuations on large scales, to realize the consistent temperature fluctuations with the Planck result we should consider suppression of scalar perturbations on corresponding large scales. To realize such a suppression, we consider anti-correlated iso-curvature perturbations which could be realized in the simple curvaton model.
