abstract

We generalize the translation invariant tensor-valued Minkowski Functionals which are defined on two-dimensional flat space to the unit sphere. We apply them to level sets of random fields. The contours enclosing boundaries of level sets of random fields give a spatial distribution of random smooth closed curves. We obtain analytic expressions for the ensemble expectation values for the matrix elements of the tensor-valued Minkowski Functionals for isotropic Gaussian and Rayleigh fields. We elucidate the way in which the elements of the tensor Minkowski Functionals encode information about the nature and statistical isotropy (or departure from isotropy) of the field. We then implement our method to compute the tensor-valued Minkowski Functionals numerically and demonstrate how they encode statistical anisotropy and departure from Gaussianity by applying the method to maps of the Galactic foreground emissions from the PLANCK data.
