    A common explanation for the CMB power asymmetry is to introduce a dipolar modulation at the stage of inflation, where the primordial power spectrum is spatially varying. If the universe in the stage of inflation is Finslerian, and if the Finsler spacetime is non-reversible under parity flip, xβ†’βˆ’xx\rightarrow-x, then a three dimensional spectrum which is the function of wave vector and direction is valid. In this paper, a three dimensional primordial power spectrum with preferred direction is derived in the framework of Finsler spacetime. It is found that the amplitude of dipolar modulation is related to the Finslerian parameter, which in turn is a function of wave vector. The angular correlation coefficients are presented, and the numerical results for the anisotropic correlation coefficients over the multipole range 2<l<6002<l<600 are given.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, accepted by EPJ

    A unified description for dipoles of the fine-structure constant and SnIa Hubble diagram in Finslerian universe

    We propose a Finsler spacetime scenario of the anisotropic universe. The Finslerian universe requires both the fine-structure constant and accelerating cosmic expansion have dipole structure, and the directions of these two dipoles are the same. Our numerical results show that the dipole direction of SnIa Hubble diagram locates at (l,b)=(314.6∘±20.3∘,βˆ’11.5∘±12.1∘)(l,b)=(314.6^\circ\pm20.3^\circ,-11.5^\circ\pm12.1^\circ) with magnitude B=(βˆ’3.60Β±1.66)Γ—10βˆ’2B=(-3.60\pm1.66)\times10^{-2}. And the dipole direction of the fine-structure constant locates at (l,b)=(333.2∘±8.8∘,βˆ’12.7∘±6.3∘)(l,b)=(333.2^\circ\pm8.8^\circ,-12.7^\circ\pm6.3^\circ) with magnitude B=(0.97Β±0.21)Γ—10βˆ’5B=(0.97\pm0.21)\times10^{-5}. The angular separation between the two dipole directions is about 18.2∘18.2^\circ.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur
