Abstract

We study real left-invariant spin Gaussian fields on SO(3)SO(3), a special class of non-isotropic random fields used to model the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. Leveraging recent results from "New chaos decomposition of Gaussian nodal volumes" (arXiv:2505.22350), we provide an explicit formula for the Wiener-It\^o chaos decomposition of the area measure of level sets of such random fields. Our analysis represents a step forward in the study of second-order asymptotic properties of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of excursion sets of spin random fields. Remarkably, our formulas reveal a clear difference between the high frequency regime and the zero spin case.
