Cosmic microwave background quadrupole and ellipsoidal universe

Abstract: Recent Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data confirm the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) quadrupole anomaly. We further elaborate our previous proposal that the quadrupole power can be naturally suppressed in axis-symmetric universes. In particular, we discuss in greater detail the CMB quadrupole anisotropy and considerably improve our analysis. As a result, we obtain tighter constraints on the direction of the axis of symmetry as well as on the eccentricity at decoupling. We find that the quadrup… Show more

“…This is still significantly weaker than the ISW bound considered in [31][32][33]. Due to the prohibitive nature of the CMB limit for anisotropic expansion, barring fine tuning, in what follows we fix the global dynamics as isotropic and explore possible local, line of sight effects (including those due to systematics).…”

“…Cosmological models containing a global anisotropy, such as this Bianchi model, are severely constrained by observations [27][28][29][30], specifically the integrated SachsWolfe effect on the CMB [31][32][33]. Illustratively, the temperature anisotropy arises as…”

“…While there are many ways suggested to handle the issue of global anisotropy, the flat Friedman model (FRW) can be suitably modified to incorporate the anisotropic effect. In recent times, some anisotropic models bearing similarity to Bianchi morphology have been proposed [63][64][65][66][67]. In this context, it is interesting to investigate some anisotropic models in the framework of f (R) gravity.…”

“…The most important limits came from the study of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis [113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120] and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies ( [121][122][123]. For a review of the effects of large-scale magnetic fields on the cosmic microwave background radiation, see [124]; see also [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135]. In particular, large-scale, primordial helical magnetic fields could leave peculiar signatures in the CMB radiation [136][137][138], since they would introduce parity-odd crosscorrelations of the CMB anisotropies not present in the case of a non-helical magnetic field.…”
