25 Aug 1997 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D57 (1998) 5982-5996 | | Subject: | astro-ph gr-qc | | Affiliation: | Cambridge), David Spergel (Princeton) and Glenn Starkman (Case Western | | Abstract: | In recent years, the large angle COBE--DMR data have been used to place constraints on the size and shape of certain topologically compact models of the universe. Here we show that this approach does not work for generic compact models. In particular, we show that compact hyperbolic models do not suffer the same loss of large angle power seen in flat or spherical models. This follows from applying a topological theorem to show that generic hyperbolic three manifolds support long wavelength fluctuations, and by taking into account the dominant role played by the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect in a hyperbolic universe. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9708225 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
