Non-Random Phases in Non-Trivial Topologies

چکیده
We present a new technique for constraining the topology of the universe. The method exploits the existence of correlations in the phases of the spherical harmonic coefficients of the CMB temperature pattern associated with matched pairs of circles seen in the sky in universes with non-trivial topology. Unlike other statistics developed to hunt for these matched circles, the method is computationally fast. We applied the method to a range of simulations with topologies of various forms and on different scales. A characteristic form of phase correlation is found in the simulations. We also applied the method to CMB maps derived from WMAP, but found no evidence of similar effects in the data.

We theoretically demonstrate the interplay of uniform spin-orbit coupling and uniform Zeeman magnetic field on the topological properties of one-dimensional double well nano wire which is known as Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. The system in the absence of Zeeman magnetic field and presence of uniform spin-orbit coupling exhibits topologically trivial/non–trivial insulator depending on the h...
متن کاملMarkov Network Structure Learning via Ensemble-of-Forests Models
Real world systems typically feature a variety of different dependency types and topologies that complicate model selection for probabilistic graphical models. We introduce the ensemble-offorests model, a generalization of the ensembleof-trees model of Meilă and Jaakkola (2006). Our model enables structure learning of Markov random fields (MRF) with multiple connected components and arbitrary p...
متن کاملExistence of non-trivial solutions for fractional Schrödinger-Poisson systems with subcritical growth
In this paper, we are concerned with the following fractional Schrödinger-Poisson system: (−∆s)u + u + λφu = µf(u) +|u|p−2|u|, x ∈R3 (−∆t)φ = u2, x ∈R3 where λ,µ are two parameters, s,t ∈ (0,1] ,2t + 4s > 3 ,1 < p ≤ 2∗ s and f : R → R is continuous function. Using some critical point theorems and truncation technique, we obtain the existence and multiplicity of non-trivial solutions with ...
متن کاملQuantum Stability of (2+1)-Spacetimes with Non-Trivial Topology
Quantum fields are investigated in the (2+1)-open-universes with non-trivial topologies by the method of images. The universes are locally de Sitter spacetime and anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the present article we study spacetimes whose spatial topologies are a torus with a cusp and a sphere with three cusps as a step toward the more general case. A quantum energy momentum tensor is obtained b...
متن کاملStatistics of Fourier Modes in Non-Gaussian Fields
Fourier methods are fundamental tools to analyze random fields. Statistical structures of homogeneous Gaussian random fields are completely characterized by the power spectrum. In non-Gaussian random fields, polyspectra, higher-order counterparts of the power spectrum, are usually considered to characterize statistical information contained in the fields. However, it is not trivial how the Four...
