The Topology of the Universe
Craig J. Copi, Deyan P. Mihaylov, Anna Negro +14
Is the Universe infinite in all directions? The only way to know is to look. A non-trivial cosmic topology would imprint subtle signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…
CMB Constraints on Pre-Inflationary Axion Dark Matter Isocurvature
Catherine Petretti, Praniti Singh, Matteo Braglia +3
Although measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are consistent with a nearly scale-invariant primordial spectrum of adiabatic perturbations, in which the energy dens…
Quantum Signatures of Cosmic Topology: How Casimir Backreaction Transmits Isotropy Violation
Anna Negro, Kurt Hinterbichler, Glenn D. Starkman +17
A finite, scheme-independent Casimir contribution to the stress-energy tensor arises naturally for quantum fields in universes with non-trivial spatial topology. We compute this Ca…
