We employ the rank-2 {\em contour} Minkowski Tensor in two dimensions to probe length and time scales of ionized bubbles during the epoch of reionization. We demonstrate that the eigenvalues of this tensor provide excellent probes of the distribution of the sizes of ionized bubbles, and from it the characteristic bubble sizes, at different redshifts. We show that ionized bubbles are not circular, and hence not spherical in three dimensions, as is often assumed for simplified analytic arguments. We quantify their shape anisotropy by using the ratio of the two eigenvalues. The shape parameter provides the characteristic time epochs when bubble mergers begin and end. Our method will be very useful to reconstruct the reionization history using data of the brightness temperature field.

Testing Statistical Isotropy on the Sphere with Minkowski Tensors
Connected-patch orientation correlations ξ±(θ,ν) give a coordinate-independent test of statistical isotropy on the sphere and separate global from local alignment in sheared random fields, while dipole modulation leav...

Wavelet-Scattering Signatures of Fuzzy Dark Matter in Simulated 21 cm Brightness-Temperature Maps
Wavelet scattering coefficients S1 and R=S2/S1 of simulated 21 cm maps distinguish fuzzy dark matter from CDM and survive SKA1-Low-style thermal noise, though abstract-level Fisher-forecast claims are absent from the body.

On the statistical nature of Betti numbers and Euler characteristic of smooth random fields
Betti numbers, Euler characteristic and their sum for excursion sets are expressed in terms of Binomial coefficients of a topological basis, predicting Gaussian statistics except at high thresholds.
