Flat Maps that improve on the Winkel Tripel

J. Richard Gott, David M. Goldberg, Robert J. Vanderbei

Goldberg & Gott (2008) developed six error measures to rate flat map projections on their verisimilitude to the sphere: Isotropy, Area, Flexion, Skewness, Distances, and Boundary C…

A Simple 3D Isometric Embedding of the Flat Square Torus

J. Richard Gott, Robert J. Vanderbei

Start with Gott (2019)'s envelope polyhedron (Squares-4 around a point): a unit cube missing its top and bottom faces. Stretch by a factor of 2 in the vertical direction so its sid…

Envelope Polyhedra

J. Richard Gott

This paper presents an additional class of regular polyhedra--envelope polyhedra--made of regular polygons, where the arrangement of polygons (creating a single surface) around eac…

Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements

Éric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey, Julian E. Bautista +90

We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave backgr…

Genus Topology and Cross-Correlation of BICEP2 and Planck 353 GHz B-Modes: Further Evidence Favoring Gravity Wave Detection

Wesley N. Colley, J. Richard Gott

We have analyzed the genus topology of the BICEP2 B-modes and find them to be Gaussian random phase as expected if they have a cosmological origin. These BICEP2 B-modes can be prod…

Horizon Run 3: Topology as a Standard Ruler

Robert Speare, J. Richard Gott, Juhan Kim +1

We study the Physically Self Bound Cold Dark Matter Halo distribution which we associate with the massive galaxies within the Horizon Run 3 to estimate the accuracy in determinatio…
