COBE Constraints on a Compact Toroidal Low-density Universe
In this paper, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy in a multiply-connected compact flat 3-torus model with the cosmological constant is investigated. Using the COBE-DMR 4-year data, a full Bayesian analysis revealed that the constraint on the topology of the flat 3-torus model with low-matter-density is less stringent. As in compact hyperbolic models, the large-angle temperature fl...
متن کاملConstraints on Compact Hyperbolic Spaces from COBE
The (large angle) COBE DMR data can be used to probe the global topology of our universe on scales comparable to and just beyond the present “horizon”. For compact topologies, the two main effects on the CMB are: [1] the breaking of statistical isotropy in characteristic patterns determined by the photon geodesic structure of the manifold and [2] an infrared cutoff in the power spectrum of pert...
متن کاملCobe Constraints on Baryon Isocurvature Models
We consider Bayesian constraints on standard isocurvature baryon models from the slope and normalization of the anisotropy power spectrum detected by the COBE DMR experiment in their 2 year maps. In conjunction with either the amplitude of matter fluctuations s8 or its slope, all open models are ruled out at greater than 95% confidence, whereas cosmological-constant dominated models are constra...
متن کاملCOBE constraints on Kaluza–Klein cosmologies
A class of Kaluza–Klein cosmologies recently proposed is compared with observations of the cosmic microwave background. Some models are ruled out, while others turn out to be viable, with the number of extra dimensions being constrained by the COBE and Tenerife experiments. To appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys. A Kaluza–Klein (KK) theory [1] has been revived in recent years in the forms of supergravi...
متن کاملParticle creation in a toroidal universe
Although current astrophysical observations provide precise information on the geometry of the universe [1], its topology remains a mystery. We don’t even know whether the universe is compact or infinite. Nevertheless, lower bounds can be placed on its size for each compact topology (see Ref. [2] and references therein). Amongst the possible topologies for the universe, those with some or all s...
