Cosmic birefringence from a joint analysis of ACT and Planck
Johannes R. Eskilt
Dark matter and dark energy could be ultra-light pseudoscalar fields that couple to electromagnetism through a Chern-Simons term. This would cause a parity-breaking rotation of the…
Cosmic topology. Part IIb. Eigenmodes, correlation matrices, and detectability of non-orientable Euclidean manifolds
Craig J. Copi, Amirhossein Samandar, Glenn D. Starkman +13
If the Universe has non-trivial spatial topology, observables depend on both the parameters of the spatial manifold and the position and orientation of the observer. In infinite Eu…

Cosmic topology. Part IIIa. Microwave background parity violation without parity-violating microphysics
Amirhossein Samandar, Javier Carrón Duque, Craig J. Copi +11
The standard cosmological model, which assumes statistical isotropy and parity invariance, predicts the absence of correlations between even-parity and odd-parity observables of th…
Cosmic topology. Part IVa. Classification of manifolds using machine learning: a case study with small toroidal universes
Andrius Tamosiunas, Fernando Cornet-Gomez, Yashar Akrami +16
Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe may give rise to potentially measurable signatures in the cosmic microwave background. We explore different machine learning approaches…

Constraint on Early Dark Energy from Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence
Johannes R. Eskilt, Laura Herold, Eiichiro Komatsu +3
Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is sensitive to new physics violating parity symmetry, such as the presence of a pseudoscalar "axionlike" field. Such a field…
Cosmic topology. Part I. Limits on orientable Euclidean manifolds from circle searches
Pip Petersen, Yashar Akrami, Craig J. Copi +9
The Einstein field equations of general relativity constrain the local curvature at every point in spacetime, but say nothing about the global topology of the Universe. Cosmic micr…
Promise of Future Searches for Cosmic Topology
Yashar Akrami, Stefano Anselmi, Craig J. Copi +12
The shortest distance around the Universe through us is unlikely to be much larger than the horizon diameter if microwave background anomalies are due to cosmic topology. We show t…
