Primordial Non-Gaussianity in the Cosmic Microwave Background
In the last few decades, advances in observational cosmology have given us a standard model of cosmology. We know the content of the universe to within a few percent.

A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background B-mode Polarization Power Spectrum at Subdegree Scales from Two Years of polarbear Data [PDF]
We report an improved measurement of the cosmic microwave background B-mode polarization power spectrum with the Polarbear experiment at 150 GHz. By adding new data collected during the second season of observations (2013–2014) to re-analyzed data from ...

Delensing of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization with Machine Learning
Primordial B -mode detection is one of the main goals of next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. Primordial B -modes are a unique signature of primordial gravitational waves (PGWs).

Isotherms clustering in cosmic microwave background [PDF]
Since the strong clustering of luminous matter in the observable universe is a consequence of an initial non-uniformity of the baryon-photon fluid in the last scattering surface, an investigation of clustering of the isotherms in the cosmic microwave background has been performed.

Limits on primordial black holes from $\mu$ distortions in cosmic microwave background [PDF]
If primordial black holes (PBHs) form directly from inhomogeneities in the early universe, then the number in the mass range $10^6 -10^9M_{\odot}$ is severely constrained by upper limits to the $\mu$-distortion in the cosmic microwave background (CMB ...

Non-Gaussianity and the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
We review in a pedagogical way the present status of the impact of non-Gaussianity (NG) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We first show how to set the initial conditions at second order for the CMB anisotropies when some primordial ...

Recovering Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Signals with Machine Learning
Primordial B-mode detection is one of the main goals of current and future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. However, the weak B-mode signal is overshadowed by several Galactic polarized emissions, such as thermal dust emission and ...

Kolmogorov cosmic microwave background sky
A new map of the sky representing the degree of randomness in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature has been obtained. The map based on estimation of the Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter clearly distinguishes the contribution of the ...

Anisotropic universes with isotropic cosmic microwave background radiation [PDF]
We show the existence of spatially homogeneous but anisotropic cosmological models whose cosmic microwave background temperature is exactly isotropic at one instant of time but whose rate of expansion is highly anisotropic. The existence of these models shows that the observation of a highly isotropic cosmic microwave background temperature cannot ...
