| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In modern cosmology, the statistical magnitude of the density fluctuations generated in the early universe is measured at different epochs of the universe to determine the cosmological model. In recent years, detector noise has become less of an issue in these measurements, and instead, the sample variance, where there is only one universe to observe, determines the limit of the power of the test. We explored the possibility of choosing the cosmological model by directly following the growth of the fluctuations rather than the statistics of the fluctuations. We found that the growth of the fluctuations can be separated from the size of the initial fluctuations by assuming that the distribution of the initial fluctuations is Gaussian and that the growth of the fluctuations can be estimated directly by observing the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background radiation produced in a galaxy cluster at each time.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
宇宙論研究においては、揺らぎの平均や分散といった統計量を観測量として用いて宇宙モデルの決定を行っていますが、これは宇宙が統計的に一様で等方的であるということが暗に仮定されています。これは近代宇宙論では宇宙原理と呼ばれる標準的な仮定ではありますが、本研究は、その仮定を排除して直接的に宇宙の構造の進化を追うにはどうしたらよいか、という課題に取り組んでおり、いくつかの方法を提示したものになっています。
