  abstract = {{T}his paper investigates whether observations of seismic anisotropy are compatible with a cubic structure of the inner core {F}e alloy. {W}e assume that anisotropy is the result of plastic deformation within a large-scale flow induced by preferred growth at the inner core equator. {B}ased on elastic moduli from the literature, body-centered cubic or face-centered cubic {F}e produces seismic anisotropy well below seismic observations (<0.4%). {A} {M}onte {C}arlo approach allows us to generalize this result to any form of elastic anisotropy in a cubic system. {W}ithin our model, inner core global anisotropy is not compatible with a cubic structure of {F}e alloy. {H}ence, if the inner core material is indeed cubic, large-scale coherent anisotropic structures, incompatible with plastic deformation induced by large-scale flow, must be present.},
