Parity-odd galaxy bispectrum

Odd-parity cosmic microwave background bispectrum

Measurement of the CMB bispectrum, or three-point correlation function, has now become one of the principle efforts in early-Universe cosmology. Here we show that there is an odd-parity component of the CMB bispectrum that has been hitherto unexplored. We argue that odd-parity temperature-polarization bispectra can arise, in principle, through weak lensing of the CMB by chiral gravitational wav...

J/Psi dissociation in parity-odd bubbles

Article history: Received 5 July 2011 Received in revised form 12 October 2011 Accepted 19 October 2011 Available online 20 October 2011 Editor: J.-P. Blaizot We calculate the quarkonium dissociation rate in the P and CP-odd domains (bubbles) that were possibly created in heavy-ion collisions. In the presence of the magnetic field produced by the valence quarks of colliding ions, parity-odd dom...

Extra rank for odd parity quadratic twists

We consider the question of giving an asymptotic estimate for the number of odd parity quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve that have (analytic) rank greater than 1. The use of Waldspurger’s formula and modular forms of weight 3/2 has allowed the accrual of a large amount of data for the even parity analogue of this, and we use the method of Heegner points to fortify the data in the odd p...

Parity Odd Bubbles in Hot Qcd

We consider the topological susceptibility for an SU(N) gauge theory in the limit of a large number of colors, N → ∞. At nonzero temperature, the behavior of the topological susceptibility depends upon the order of the deconfining phase transition. The most interesting possibility is if the deconfining transition, at T = Td, is of second order. Then we argue that Witten’s relation implies that ...
