Cosmic topology. Part IIc. Detectability with non-standard primordial power spectrum
Joline Noltmann, Andrius Tamosiunas, Deyan P. Mihaylov +13
Non-trivial spatial topology of the Universe can imprint potentially observable signatures on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this study, we investigate how deviations fr…

Cosmic topology. Part IIb. Eigenmodes, correlation matrices, and detectability of non-orientable Euclidean manifolds
Craig J. Copi, Amirhossein Samandar, Glenn D. Starkman +13
If the Universe has non-trivial spatial topology, observables depend on both the parameters of the spatial manifold and the position and orientation of the observer. In infinite Eu…

Cosmic topology. Part IIIb. Eigenmodes and correlation matrices of spin-2 perturbations in orientable Euclidean manifolds
Amirhossein Samandar, Javier Carrón Duque, Craig J. Copi +13
We study the eigenmodes of the spin-2 Laplacian in orientable Euclidean manifolds and their implications for the tensor-induced part of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temper…
