Mukhanov - polarisation tensor approach vs Stokes parameters
polarisation tensors - vectors on sphere - - see also WikipediaEn:Polarization
eigenvalue problem ,
follow this through recombination - WikipediaEn:Thomson_scattering - requires recombination duration to be , otherwise no polarisation
requires quadrupole (at least anisotropy), so from beginning of recombination epoch
horizon scale at time of recombination
B=0 for scalar
polarisation from gravitational waves
BB correlation C_l (unpolarised)
