Body coherence in curved-space virtual reality games
Jeff Weeks
Virtual-reality simulations of curved space are most effective and most fun when presented as a game (for example, curved-space billiards), so the user not only has something to se…
Orbifold construction of the modes of the Poincare dodecahedral space
Marc Lachieze-Rey, Jeffrey Weeks
We provide a new construction of the modes of the Poincare dodecahedral space S^3/I*. The construction uses the Hopf map, Maxwell's multipole vectors and orbifolds. In particular,…
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…
Exact Polynomial Eigenmodes for Homogeneous Spherical 3-Manifolds
Jeffrey R. Weeks
Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a mode…
Maxwell's Multipole Vectors and the CMB
Jeffrey R. Weeks
The recently re-discovered multipole vector approach to understanding the harmonic decomposition of the cosmic microwave background traces its roots to Maxwell's Treatise on Electr…
Polynomial Interpretation of Multipole Vectors
Gabriel Katz, Jeffrey Weeks
Copi, Huterer, Starkman and Schwarz introduced multipole vectors in a tensor context and used them to demonstrate that the first-year WMAP quadrupole and octopole planes align at r…
