CMB Anisotropy of the Poincaré Dodecahedron
We analyse the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) for the Poincaré dodecahedron which is an example for a multi-connected spherical universe. We compare the temperature correlation function and the angular power spectrum for the Poincaré dodecahedral universe with the first-year WMAP data and find that this multi-connected universe can explain the surprisingly low CMB anisotrop...
متن کاملAngular power spectrum of CMB anisotropy from WMAP
The remarkable improvement in the estimates of different cosmological parameters in recent years has been largely spearheaded by accurate measurements of the angular power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. This has required removal of foreground contamination as well as detector noise bias with reliability and precision. Recently, a novel model-independent method for the ...

Comment on the paper of Jaffe et al (astro-ph/0503213) on evidence of vorticity and shear of the Universe We show that recent results in the paper of Jaffe et al on evidence of vorticity and shear of the Universe are incorrect. They fit WMAP data with certain Bianchi model which is known to have a vanishing vorticity. The performed fit of the shear is not reliable because the respective formula...
متن کاملCMB Anisotropy of Spherical Spaces
The first-yearWMAP data taken at their face value hint that the Universe might be slightly positively curved and therefore necessarily finite, since all spherical (Clifford-Klein) space forms M3 = S3/Γ, given by the quotient of S3 by a group Γ of covering transformations, possess this property. We examine the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) for all typical groups Γ correspon...
