On the CMB circular polarization: I. The Cotton–Mouton effect
Abstract Generation of cosmic microwave background (CMB) elliptic polarization due to the Cotton–Mouton (CM) effect in a cosmic magnetic field is studied. We concentrate on the generation of CMB circular polarization and on the rotation angle of the CMB polarization plane from the decoupling time un...
