Dipole Anisotropy from an Entropy Gradient
read the original abstract
It is generally accepted that the observed CMBR dipole arises from the motion of the local group relative to the CMBR frame. An alternative interpretation is that the dipole results from an ultra-large scale ($\lambda > 100 c/H_0)$ isocurvature perturbation. Recently it was argued that this alternative possibility is ruled out. We examine the growth of perturbations on scales larger than the Hubble radius and in view of this analysis, we show that the isocurvature interpretation is still a viable explanation. If the dipole is due to peculiar motion then it should appear in observations of other background sources provided that they are distant enough.

The Cosmological Dipole in Tilted Anisotropic Universes
In tilted Bianchi cosmologies, a 10^-3 dipole is impossible under current shear and curvature bounds except possibly for a Khronon field.
