Well-proportioned universes suppress CMB quadrupole
Jeffrey Weeks, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Alain Riazuelo +1
A widespread myth asserts that all small universe models suppress the CMB quadrupole. In actual fact, some models suppress the quadrupole while others elevate it, according to whet…
Cosmic microwave background anisotropies in multi-connected flat spaces
Alain Riazuelo, Jeffrey Weeks, Jean-Philippe Uzan +2
This article investigates the signature of the seventeen multi-connected flat spaces in cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. For each such space it recalls a fundamental domain…
Dodecahedral space topology as an explanation for weak wide-angle temperature correlations in the cosmic microwave background
J. -P. Luminet, J. Weeks, A. Riazuelo +2
Cosmology's standard model posits an infinite flat universe forever expanding under the pressure of dark energy. First-year data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP…
Cosmic microwave background constraints on multi-connected spherical spaces
Jean-Philippe Uzan, Alain Riazuelo, Roland Lehoucq +1
This article describes the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies expected in a closed universe with the topology of a lens space L(p,q) and with density parameter Omega_0 close…
