We study the interferometric observation of intensity and polarization anisotropies of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). We show that the observed correlated data is defined in the group manifold of the three-dimensional rotation. Explicit correlation between two detectors in the interferometry experiments such as LIGO-Virgo and KAGRA is constructed in terms of the Wigner D-functions. Our results may provide a tool for constructing data pipelines to estimate the power spectra of the SGWB anisotropies.

Polarized Anisotropic Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background Search with Ground-Based Detector Networks
Implements full-Stokes SGWB map-making for ground-based networks, applies to LVK O3 data, and constrains polarized angular spectra while showing intensity-only models can be biased.
