A test of the Poincaré dodecahedral space topology hypothesis with the WMAP CMB data
It has been suggested by Roukema and coworkers (hereafter R04) that the topology of the Universe as probed by the "matched circles" method using the first year release of the WMAP CMB data, might be that of the Poincaré dodecahedral space (PDS) model. An excess in the correlation of the …
