We argue that the 21-cm global signal can be a powerful probe of isocurvature perturbations, particularly for the ones with blue-tilted spectra. Although the 21-cm global signal is much affected by astrophysical processes, which give some uncertainties when cosmological models are investigated, recent results from HERA have constrained several astrophysical parameters, whose information can reduce the ambiguities originating from astrophysics. We show that the size and spectral tilt of isocurvature perturbations can be well inferred from the 21-cm global signal once the information on astrophysics from the HERA results is taken into account.

  1. Axions on a Hyperbolic Ride: Geometric Suppression of CMB Isocurvature and a Blue-Tilted Spectrum

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A hyperbolic PQ field-space metric exponentially suppresses CMB axion isocurvature and induces a blue-tilted spectrum, allowing H_inf≈10^13 GeV with fa up to 10^16 GeV.

  2. Probing initial isocurvature perturbation with 21cm one-point statistics

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Fisher forecast from 21cmFAST simulations shows 21cm variance can constrain the CDM isocurvature fraction to about 3e-4 with SKA, while skewness is an order of magnitude weaker.
