Let , and . Use exactly the given constant primordial bispectrum normalization, without an additional local-template convention factor. Combining it with the large-angle Sachs-Wolfe effect cosmological transfer function gives the reduced CMB bispectrum
where . Each transfer factor has been retained; their product is .
Apply the supplied spherical Bessel product integral after rescaling :
The two branches agree at . In the radial integral put . The factor from cancels the from the three kernels. The remaining integral is
provided . This evaluation uses the momentum integrals at fixed radial parameter in the projection, then the radial integral; it does not require an unjustified global exchange of all oscillatory integrals.
The factors and cancel exactly. Hence the Sachs-Wolfe projection of a constant bispectrum is
The all-monopole case has a logarithmically divergent outer radial integral and is not covered by the printed finite formula. Observable CMB analyses remove the monopole and dipole, normally using , so this issue is absent there. Angular triangle and parity selection are carried by the triple-spherical harmonic geometric factor multiplying the reduced bispectrum.
There is no dependence on the last-scattering distance , and no extra physical scale appears when is held constant. At fixed triangle shape and in the range , common rescaling of all multipoles gives
This is angular scale invariance in the usual weighted sense; a constant primordial shape does not make the unweighted reduced CMB bispectrum independent of angular scale. The exact finite-multipole expression retains the and terms shown above.
Reduced CMB bispectrum 2026-10-06
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.
