CMBFAST for spatially closed universes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the cosmological linear perturbation theory code CMBFAST to closed geometries. This completes the implementation of CMBFAST to all types of geometries and allows the user to perform an unlimited search in the parameter space of models. This will be specially useful for placing confidence limits on cosmological parameters from existing and future data. We discuss some of the technical issues regarding the implementation.

v 1 1 8 O ct 1 99 6 Gravitational waves propagating into Friedmann – Robertson – Walker universes
We consider space-times with two isometries which represent gravitational waves with distinct wavefronts which propagate into exact Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) universes. The geometry of possible wavefronts is analysed in detail in all three types of FRW models. In the spatially flat and open universes, the wavefronts can be planar or cylindrical; in the closed case they are toroidal. Exac...
متن کاملLattice Universes in 2+1-dimensional gravity
Lattice universes are spatially closed space-times of spherical topology in the large, containing masses or black holes arranged in the symmetry of a regular polygon or polytope. Exact solutions for such spacetimes are found in 2+1 dimensions for Einstein gravity with a non-positive cosmological constant. By means of a mapping that preserves the essential nature of geodesics we establish analog...
متن کاملOpen and closed universes, initial singularities, and inflation.
The existence of initial singularities in expanding universes is proved without assuming the timelike convergence condition. The assumptions made in the proof are ones likely to hold both in open universes and in many closed ones. (It is further argued that at least some of the expanding closed universes that do not obey a key assumption of the theorem will have initial singularities on other g...
متن کاملThe Exact Evolution Equation of the Curvature Perturbation for Closed Universe
As is well known, the exact evolution equation of the curvature perturbation plays a very important role in investigation of the inflation power spectrum of the flat universe. However, its corresponding exact extension for the non-flat universes has not yet been given out clearly. The interest in the non-flat, specially closed, universes is being aroused recently. The need of this extension is ...
متن کاملThe Spatially Closed Universe
The general world model for homogeneous and isotropic universe has been proposed. For this purpose, we introduce a global and fiducial system of reference (world reference frame) constructed on a 4 + 1 Minkowski space-time that is embedding the universe, and define the line element as the separation between two neighboring events that are distinct in space and time, as viewed in the world refer...
