Probing the primordial Universe from the low-multipole CMB data

Since the temperature fluctuations in cosmic microwave background (CMB) on large-angular scales probe length scales that were super-horizon sized at photon decoupling and hence insensitive to microphysical processes, the low-multipole CMB data are supposed to be a good probe to the physics of the primordial Universe. In this letter we will constrain the cosmological parameters in the base $\Lambda$CDM model with tensor perturbations by only using low-multipole CMB data, including Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (B2), Planck released in 2013 (P13) and Wilkinson Microwaves Anisotropy Probe 9-year data (W9). We find that a red tilted power spectrum of relic gravitational waves is compatible with the data, but a blue tilted power spectrum of scalar perturbations on the large scales is preferred at around $2\sigma$ confidence level.Comment: 5 pages, 2 tables, 2 figure

Constraints on the cosmological parameters from BICEP2, Planck and WMAP

In this paper we constrain the cosmological parameters, in particular the tilt of tensor power spectrum, by adopting Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (B2), Planck released in 2013 (P13) and Wilkinson Microwaves Anisotropy Probe 9-year Polarization (WP) data. We find that a blue tilted tensor power spectrum is preferred at more than $3\sigma$ confidence level if the data from B2 are assumed to be totally interpreted as the relic gravitational waves, but a scale invariant tensor power spectrum is consistent with the data once the polarized dust is taken into account. The recent Planck 353 GHz HFI dust polarization data imply that the B2 data are perfectly consistent with there being no gravitational wave signal.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures and 1 table; major revision, dust added for solving the tension between Planck13 and BICEP2, version accepted for publication in EPJ

A Fractional Lie Group Method For Anomalous Diffusion Equations

Lie group method provides an efficient tool to solve a differential equation. This paper suggests a fractional partner for fractional partial differential equations using a fractional characteristic method. A space-time fractional diffusion equation is used as an example to illustrate the effectiveness of the Lie group method.Comment: 5 pages,in pres
