curl-type pattern in cosmic microwave background polarization that scalar density perturbations cannot produce at first order, a signature of primordial gravitational waves.

In cosmology, CMB B-mode polarization refers to curl-type pattern in cosmic microwave background polarization that scalar density perturbations cannot produce at first order, a signature of primordial gravitational waves. This meaning comes from Seljak (1997) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
