Cosmological Topology in Paris 1998

Abstract

Quel est, ou pourrait être, la topologie globale de la partie spatiale de l'Univers ? L'Univers entier (précisément, l'hypersurface spatiale de celui-ci) est-il observable ? Les mathématiciens, les physiciens et les cosmologistes observationnels ont des approches différentes pour aborder ces questions qui restent ouvertes. What is, or could be, the global topology of spatial sections of the Universe? Is the entire Universe (spatial hypersurface thereof) observable ? Mathematicians, physicists and observational cosmologists have different strategies to approaching these questions which are not yet fully answered.
