2 For FRW a lm a l m = C l δ ll δmm Claims of violation of statistical isotropy of the CMB perturbations. A number of 2 3 σ effects, significance susceptible to statistics used. Some of these claims concern the largest scale modes, for which additional problems due to galaxy contamination Larger modes (low l) probe earlier inflationary stages!
