abstract

We have investigated non-Gaussianity of our early Universe by comparing the parity asymmetry of the WMAP power spectrum with simulations. We find that odd-parity preference of the WMAP data (2<= l <=18) is anomalous at 4-in-1000 level. We find it likely that low quadrupole power is part of this parity asymmetry rather than an isolated anomaly. Futher investigation is required to find out whether the origin of this anomaly is cosmological or systematic effect. The data from Planck surveyor, which has systematics distinct from the WMAP, will help us to resolve the origin of the anomalous odd-parity preference.

Testing cosmic anisotropy with the Combo correlation of gamma-ray bursts

astro-ph.CO · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Larger sample of 244 GRBs with Combo correlation shifts best-fit anisotropy longitude by 54° from Pantheon-only result and deviates >1σ in hemisphere method, unlike smaller A118 sample, indicating potential to reduce fake signals from inhomogeneous distributions.

Revisiting cosmic anisotropy with the Pantheon+ compilation

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-21 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Re-analysis of Pantheon+ supernovae finds no statistically compelling evidence for intrinsic cosmic anisotropy; reported signals are subsample-dependent and attributed to data distribution artifacts.

The Saddle Point of Everything

physics.gen-ph · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

The inverted harmonic oscillator and its dual are argued to underpin a unique unitary renormalizable quantum gravity in four dimensions, yielding a non-singular universe and Starobinsky inflation.
