Spectator fields and their imprints on the Cosmic Microwave Background
Lingfei Wang
When a subdominant light scalar field ends slow roll during inflation, but well after the Hubble exit of the pivot scales, it may determine the cosmological perturbations. This the…
Detecting CMB modulations and non-Gaussianities from power multipoles
Lingfei Wang
By decomposing the CMB temperature fluctuations \emph{squared} into spherical harmonics, we can define the \emph{CMB power multipoles} as the fundamental observables to quantify an…
CMB dipole asymmetry from a fast roll phase
Anupam Mazumdar, Lingfei Wang
The observed CMB (cosmic microwave background) dipole asymmetry cannot be explained by a single field model of inflation - it inevitably requires more than one field where one of t…
Small non-Gaussianity and dipole asymmetry in the CMB
Lingfei Wang, Anupam Mazumdar
In this paper we provide a prescription for obtaining a small non-Gaussianity and the observed dipole asymmetry in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The observations inevi…
Separable and non-separable multi-field inflation and large non-Gaussianity
Anupam Mazumdar, Lingfei Wang
In this paper we provide a general framework based on formalism to estimate the cosmological observables pertaining to the cosmic microwave background radiation for non-separa…
