Reduced CMB bispectrum

ID: reduced-cmb-bispectrum

A statistically isotropic Cosmic microwave background anisotropy has , where is the integral of the three spherical harmonics. The reduced CMB bispectrum removes this angular geometric factor and retains the primordial and transfer-function dependence. A Sachs-Wolfe projection of a constant bispectrum is an analytic large-angle example.
