Phys. Rev. D 57, 3290–3301 (1998)Complete treatment of CMB anisotropies in a FRW universeReceived 10 September 1997; published in the issue dated 15 March 1998 We generalize the total angular momentum method for computing cosmic microwave background anisotropies to Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spaces with arbitrary geometries. This unifies the treatment of temperature and polarization anisotropies generated by scalar, vector and tensor perturbations of the fluid, seed, or a scalar field, in a universe with constant comoving curvature. The resulting formalism generalizes and simplifies the calculation of anisotropies and, in its integral form, allows for a fast calculation of model predictions in linear theory for any FRW metric. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
