The Energy Density of "Wound" Fields in a Toroidal Universe
arXiv:astro-ph/0407349 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2004/10/041
Abstract
The observational limits on the present energy density of the Universe allow for a component that redshifts like and can contribute significantly to the total. We show that a possible origin for such a contribution is that the universe has a toroidal topology with "wound" scalar fields around its cycles.
