Topology beyond the horizon: How far can it be probed?

Topology beyond the horizon: How far can it be probed?

The standard cosmological model does not determine the spatial topology of the Universe. This article revisits the signature of a nontrivial topology on the properties of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies. We show that the correlation function of the coefficients of the expansion of the temperature and polarization anisotropies in …
