Frequency-dependent constraints on cosmic birefringence from the LFI and HFI Planck Data Release 4

J. R. Eskilt

Summary: This study presents new constraints on the frequency dependence of the cosmic birefringence angle using data from the Planck Data Release 4 polarization maps. The results are consistent with predictions from an axion field coupled to electromagnetism and Faraday rotation from local magnetic fields. The findings provide valuable insights into the nature of cosmic birefringence.

Power spectrum of domain-wall network, and its implications for isotropic and anisotropic cosmic birefringence

Naoya Kitajima et al.

Summary: Recently, a hint of a uniform rotation of the polarization of cosmic microwave background photons, called isotropic cosmic birefringence, has been reported based on a novel analysis of the Planck satellite data. The suggested rotation angle is close to the fine-structure constant, and this coincidence can be explained by the domain walls of axion-like particles.

Implications of the cosmic birefringence measurement for the axion dark matter search

Ippei Obata

Summary: This study shows that the constraint on cosmic birefringence effect caused by dark energy can be related to the constraints on the coupling of axion dark matter to photon. By using a simple model of two-axion alignment mechanism with periodic potentials, the study explains that one linear combination of two fields acts as dark energy while the other acts as dark matter. This scenario solves the conceptual issues of one-field model for dark energy and predicts the connection between seemingly disparate constraints on the dark sectors of our universe.

Improved constraints on cosmic birefringence from the WMAP and Planck cosmic microwave background polarization data

Johannes R. Eskilt et al.

Summary: In this study, new measurements of cosmic birefringence are presented from a joint analysis of polarization data from the Planck and WMAP space missions. The results show that the plane of linear polarization of cosmic microwave background photons may have rotated during their 13 billion-year journey, with no evidence of frequency dependence. This finding has significant implications for the study of physics violating parity symmetry.

Is cosmic birefringence due to dark energy or dark matter? A tomographic approach

Hiromasa Nakatsuka et al.

Summary: This article investigates the possibility of a pseudoscalar field explaining the observed cosmic birefringence in the cosmic microwave background polarization data and proposes a tomographic approach to determine whether it is dark energy or dark matter. The study suggests that the shape and features of the EB power spectrum can be used to differentiate between these two possibilities based on different effective mass values.

New physics from the polarized light of the cosmic microwave background

Eiichiro Komatsu

Summary: The polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) holds clues to the nature of dark matter and dark energy, as well as the origin of structures in the Universe. Two phenomena that could be observed in CMB data are cosmic birefringence, which could indicate violations of symmetry, and the presence of primordial gravitational waves generated during cosmic inflation.

The axion quality problem: global symmetry breaking and wormholes

James Alvey et al.

Summary: Continuous global symmetries may be broken by gravity, posing a threat to certain solutions like the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem. Wormholes as a source of gravity-induced global symmetry breaking have important implications for the quality of axions, particularly in non-perturbative Einstein gravity and open String Theory.

Constraints on global symmetry breaking in quantum gravity from cosmic birefringence measurements

James Alvey et al.

Summary: All global symmetries are expected to be broken by quantum gravitational effects. The detection of cosmic birefringence in the Cosmic Microwave Background may indicate a well-preserved global symmetry. The presence of global symmetries has implications for theories of quantum gravity and particle physics scenarios.

More axions from strings

Marco Gorghetto et al.

Summary: Clear evidence of scaling violations in the contribution to QCD axion dark matter abundance from string defects is found, suggesting a large number of axions from strings. Nonlinearities around the QCD scale are shown to play a crucial role in determining the final abundance, resulting in a substantially stronger lower bound on the QCD axion mass in the post-inflationary scenario compared to the naive estimate from misalignment.

CMB birefringence from ultralight-axion string networks

Mudit Jain et al.

Summary: Studying the birefringence of CMB photons passing through axion string loops can provide valuable information about axion-photon coupling and string network structure. The analysis reveals a characteristic angular scale set by theta(min) and a peak in the birefringence power spectrum around l(p) similar to 1/theta(min). An additional scale, controlled by the axion's mass, is introduced if the string network collapses before today.

Kilobyte Cosmic Birefringence from ALP domain walls

Fuminobu Takahashi et al.

Summary: The formation of ALP domain walls without strings in the early Universe can lead to isotropic and anisotropic birefringence of cosmic microwave background polarization. This birefringence can provide information about the number and structure of domain walls at the time of recombination.

Approach to scaling in axion string networks

Mark Hindmarsh et al.

Summary: The study reveals that scaling in axion string networks in the radiation era can be well described by a two-parameter velocity-one-scale (VOS) model, with the parameters being insensitive to the initial state of the network. The simulations, even starting far from the fixed point, are accounted for by the VOS model with certain values for the parameters.

Probing axionlike particles via cosmic microwave background polarization

Tomohiro Fujita et al.

Summary: The study suggests that ALPs can rotate the linear polarization of photons and convert the cosmic microwave background E mode to the B mode through the ALP-photon coupling. By deriving the relationship between ALP dynamics and rotation angle, the current and future sensitivities of CMB observations to the ALP-photon coupling were calculated. Neglected fluctuations of the ALP field at the observer have been found to induce significant isotropic rotation of the CMB polarization.
