ΛΛCDM model with a scalar perturbation vs. preferred direction of the universe

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a scalar perturbation for the ΛΛCDM model, which breaks the isotropic symmetry of the universe. Based on the Union2 data, the least-χ2χ^2 fit of the scalar perturbed ΛΛCDM model shows that the universe has a preferred direction (l,b)=(287∘±25∘,11∘±22∘)(l,b)=(287^\circ\pm25^\circ,11^\circ\pm22^\circ). The magnitude of scalar perturbation is about −2.3×10−5-2.3\times10^{-5}. The scalar perturbation for the ΛΛCDM model implies a peculiar velocity, which is perpendicular to the radial direction. We show that the maximum peculiar velocities at redshift z=0.15z=0.15 and z=0.015z=0.015 equal to 73±28km⋅s−173\pm28 \rm km\cdot s^{-1} and 1099±427km⋅s−11099\pm427 \rm km\cdot s^{-1}, respectively. They are compatible with the constraints on peculiar velocity given by Planck Collaboration.
