The statistics of isothermal lines and loops of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation on the sky map is studied and the fractal structure is confirmed in the radiation temperature fluctuation. We estimate the fractal exponents, such as the fractal dimension $D_{mathrm{e}}$ of the entire pattern of isothermal lines, the fractal dimension $D_{mathrm{c}}$ of a single isothermal line, the exponent $zeta$ in Korv{c}aks law for the size distribution of isothermal loops, the two kind of Hurst exponents, $H_{mathrm{e}}$ for the profile of the CMB radiation temperature, and $H_{mathrm{c}}$ for a single isothermal line. We also perform fractal analysis of two artificial sky maps simulated by a standard model in physical cosmology, the WMAP best-fit $Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter ($Lambda$CDM) model, and by the Gaussian free model of rough surfaces. The temperature fluctuations of the real CMB radiation and in the simulation using the $Lambda$CDM model are non-Gaussian, in the sense that the displacement of isothermal lines and loops has an antipersistent property indicated by $H_{mathrm{e}} simeq 0.23 < 1/2$.

This is a report on the status and prospects of the quantification of neutrino properties through the cosmological neutrino background for the Cosmic Frontier of the Division of Particles and Fields Community Summer Study long-term planning exercise.
Experiments planned and underway are prepared to study the cosmological neutrino background in detail via its influence on distance-redshift relations and the growth of structure. The program for the next decade described in this document, including upcoming spectroscopic galaxy surveys eBOSS and DESI and a new Stage-IV CMB polarization experiment CMB-S4, will achieve sigma(sum m_nu) = 16 meV and sigma(N_eff) = 0.020. Such a mass measurement will produce a high significance detection of non-zero sum m_nu, whose lower bound derived from atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation data is about 58 meV. If neutrinos have a minimal normal mass hierarchy, this measurement will definitively rule out the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy, shedding light on one of the most puzzling aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics --- the origin of mass. This precise a measurement of N_eff will allow for high sensitivity to any light and dark degrees of freedom produced in the big bang and a precision test of the standard cosmological model prediction that N_eff = 3.046.
Fluctuations in the intensity and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe each contain clues about the nature of the earliest moments of time. The next generation of CMB and lar
ge-scale structure (LSS) experiments are poised to test the leading paradigm for these earliest moments---the theory of cosmic inflation---and to detect the imprints of the inflationary epoch, thereby dramatically increasing our understanding of fundamental physics and the early universe. A future CMB experiment with sufficient angular resolution and frequency coverage that surveys at least 1% of the sky to a depth of 1 uK-arcmin can deliver a constraint on the tensor-to-scalar ratio that will either result in a 5-sigma measurement of the energy scale of inflation or rule out all large-field inflation models, even in the presence of foregrounds and the gravitational lensing B-mode signal. LSS experiments, particularly spectroscopic surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, will complement the CMB effort by improving current constraints on running of the spectral index by up to a factor of four, improving constraints on curvature by a factor of ten, and providing non-Gaussianity constraints that are competitive with the current CMB bounds.
By using N-body hydrodynamical cosmological simulations in which the chemistry of major metals and molecules is consistently solved for, we study the interaction of metallic fine-structure lines with the CMB. Our analysis shows that the collisional i
nduced emissions in the OI 145 $mu$m and CII 158 $mu$m lines during reionization introduce a distortion of the CMB spectrum at low frequencies ($ u < 300$ GHz) with amplitudes up to $Delta I_{ u}/B_{ u}(T_{rm CMB})sim 10^{-8}$-$10^{-7}$, i.e., at the $sim 0.1$ percent level of FIRAS upper limits. Shorter wavelength fine-structure transitions (OI 63 $mu$m, FeII 26 $mu$m, and SiII 35 $mu$m) typically sample the reionization epoch at higher observing frequencies ($ u > 400$ GHz). This corresponds to the Wien tail of the CMB spectrum and the distortion level induced by those lines may be as high as $Delta I_{ u}/B_{ u}(T_{rm CMB})sim 10^{-4}$. The angular anisotropy produced by these lines should be more relevant at higher frequencies: while practically negligible at $ u=145 $GHz, signatures from CII 158 $mu$m and OI 145 $mu$m should amount to 1%-5% of the anisotropy power measured at $l sim 5000$ and $ u=220 $GHz by the ACT and SPT collaborations (after assuming $Delta u_{rm obs}/ u_{rm obs}simeq 0.005$ for the line observations). Our simulations show that anisotropy maps from different lines (e.g., OI 145 $mu$m and CII 158 $mu$m) at the same redshift show a very high degree ($>0.8$) of spatial correlation, allowing for the use of observations at different frequencies to unveil the same snapshot of the reionization epoch. Finally, our simulations demonstrate that line-emission anisotropies extracted in narrow frequency/redshift shells are practically uncorrelated in frequency space, thus enabling standard methods for removal of foregrounds that vary smoothly in frequency, just as in HI 21 cm studies.
Delensing is an increasingly important technique to reverse the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and thus reveal primordial signals the lensing may obscure. We present a first demonstration of delensing on Planck tempera
ture maps using the cosmic infrared background (CIB). Reversing the lensing deflections in Planck CMB temperature maps using a linear combination of the 545 and 857GHz maps as a lensing tracer, we find that the lensing effects in the temperature power spectrum are reduced in a manner consistent with theoretical expectations. In particular, the characteristic sharpening of the acoustic peaks of the temperature power spectrum resulting from successful delensing is detected at a significance of 16$rm{sigma}$, with an amplitude of $A_{rm{delens}} = 1.12 pm 0.07$ relative to the expected value of unity. This first demonstration on data of CIB delensing, and of delensing techniques in general, is significant because lensing removal will soon be essential for achieving high-precision constraints on inflationary B-mode polarization.
We aim to present a tutorial on the detection, parameter estimation and statistical analysis of compact sources (far galaxies, galaxy clusters and Galactic dense emission regions) in cosmic microwave background observations. The topic is of great rel
evance for current and future cosmic microwave background missions because the presence of compact sources in the data introduces very significant biases in the determination of the cosmological parameters that determine the energy contain, origin and evolution of the universe and because compact sources themselves provide us with important information about the large scale structure of the universe.
