"The Kolmogorov CMB Sky"

A new map of the sky representing the degree of randomness in the cosmic microwave background (CMB)
temperature will be discussed. The map based on the estimation of the Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter
can contain direct information on the inhomogeneities in the Universe. By its informative power, Kolmogorov's
map can be complementary to the CMB temperature and polarization sky maps. We are working on deploying
this methodology on the upcoming Planck data.
