Dodecahedral topology fails to explain quadrupole-octupole alignment
Jeff Weeks, Jesper Gundermann
The CMB quadrupole and octupole, as well as being weaker than expected, align suspiciously well with each other. Non-trivial spatial topology can explain the weakness. Might it als…

Predicting the CMB power spectrum for binary polyhedral spaces
Jesper Gundermann
The COBE and the first-year WMAP data both find the CMB quadrupole and octopole to be anomalously low. Here it is shown, that a finite, multi-connected universe may explain this an…
