Two- and Three-Dimensional Probes of Parity in Primordial Gravity Waves

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | Summary:We show that three-dimensional information is critical to discerning the effects of parity violation in the primordial gravity-wave background. If present, helical gravity waves induce parity-violating correlations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) between parity-odd polarization $B$-modes and parity-even temperature anisotropies ($T$) or polarization $E$-modes. Unfortunately, $EB$ correlations are […]
