CMB Alignment in Multi-Connected Universes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The low multipoles of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy possess some strange properties like the alignment of the quadrupole and the octopole, and the extreme planarity or the extreme sphericity of some multipoles, respectively. In this paper the CMB anisotropy of several multi-connected space forms is investigated with respect to the maximal angular momentum dispersion and the Maxwellian multipole vectors in order to settle the question whether such spaces can explain the low multipole anomalies in the CMB. PACS numbers: 98.80.-k, 98.70.Vc, 98.80.Es

Cosmic Microwave Background in Closed Multiply Connected Universes
We have investigated the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy in closed multiply connected universes (flat and hyperbolic) with low matter density. We show that the COBE constraints on these low matter density models with non-trivial topology are less stringent since a large amount of CMB anisotropy on large angular scales can be produced due to the decay of the gravitational potential ...
متن کاملThe circles-in-the-sky signature for three spherical universes
The mysteriously low CMB power on the largest scales might point to a Universe which consists of a multi-connected space. In addition to a suppression of large-scale power, a multi-connected space can be revealed by its circles-in-the-sky signature. In this paper, a detailed search for this signature is carried out for those three homogeneous multi-connected spherical space forms that lead to t...
متن کاملThe study of topology of the universe using multipole vectors
We studied possibility of application of the multipole vectors decomposition of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps for detection signatures of non-trivial topology of the universe. Using 10 simulations we analysed distribution of the multipole vectors on the sky for the low order multipoles and probability distribution function of the statistics based on the sum of the dot products of t...
متن کاملMulti-granulation fuzzy probabilistic rough sets and their corresponding three-way decisions over two universes
This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
متن کاملHyperbolic Universes with a Horned Topology and the CMB Anisotropy
We analyse the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in hyperbolic universes possessing a non-trivial topology with a fundamental cell having an infinitely long horn. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we show that the horned topology does not lead to a flat spot in the CMB sky maps in the direction of the horn as stated in the literature. On the other hand, we dem...
