A null test of the Cosmological Principle with BAO measurements [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2111.06869


The assumption of a Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Roberton-Walker (FLRW) Universe is one of the fundamental pillars of modern Cosmology. It is crucial to confront it against cosmological observations in order to confirm (or rule out) the validity of the $\Lambda$CDM paradigm. We perform a consistency test of the FLRW metric using measurements of both radial and transversal modes of Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations in a model-independent fashion, finding null evidence for a departure of such hypothesis at a $2\sigma$ confidence level.
