Beyond the Kullback--Leibler divergence: the likelihood-ratio distribution as a detectability measure
Amirhossein Samandar, Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Linn Htat Lu +13
The Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence is the expectation value of the log-likelihood ratio between two specified models, evaluated with respect to one of the two models. It provide…
Breaking de Sitter Symmetry with Cosmic Topology: Cosmological Role of Infrared Vacuum Freedom
Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +5
When spatial sections of spacetime are topologically nontrivial, the symmetry arguments usually used to choose the Bunch-Davies vacuum are no longer guaranteed to apply. We study t…
Cosmic topology. Part Va. Information content of the observable Universe
Deyan P. Mihaylov, Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Stefano Anselmi +14
If the Universe possesses a compact spatial topology with characteristic scale not much larger than the diameter of the observable Universe, then the associated symmetry transforma…
Weighted Webs: Morphology-Informed Marked Fields
Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Jessica A. Cowell, David Alonso +2
The morphology of the cosmic web formed by the late-time matter distribution encodes cosmological information beyond that contained in standard two-point statistics. Marked power s…
The Topology of the Universe
Craig J. Copi, Deyan P. Mihaylov, Anna Negro +14
Is the Universe infinite in all directions? The only way to know is to look. A non-trivial cosmic topology would imprint subtle signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…
More Than Power: Revisiting the CMB Hemispherical Power Asymmetry with Morphological Descriptors
Javier Carrón Duque, Mikel Martin Barandiaran, Joseba Martínez-Arrizabalaga
The Cosmological Principle assumes a statistically isotropic Universe, but the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) exhibits some anomalous statistical features, such as the hemispher…
Quantum Signatures of Cosmic Topology: How Casimir Backreaction Transmits Isotropy Violation
Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +17
A finite, scheme-independent Casimir contribution to the stress-energy tensor arises naturally for quantum fields in universes with non-trivial spatial topology. We compute this Ca…
Cosmic topology. Part IIc. Detectability with non-standard primordial power spectrum
Joline Noltmann, Andrius Tamosiunas, Deyan P. Mihaylov +13
Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe can imprint potentially observable signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this study, we investigate how deviations fr…
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 IIIb. Eigenmodes and correlation matrices of spin-2 perturbations in orientable Euclidean manifolds
Amirhossein Samandar, Javier Carrón Duque, Craig J. Copi +13
We study the eigenmodes of the spin-2 Laplacian in orientable Euclidean manifolds and their implications for the tensor-induced part of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temper…
Cosmic topology. Part Ic. Limits on lens spaces from circle searches
Samanta Saha, Craig J. Copi, Glenn D. Starkman +11
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization observations indicate that in the best-fit Cold Dark Matter model of the Universe, the local geometry is consiste…
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…
