Constraining the Topology of the Universe: A Generalization of Flat Manifold Parameter Spaces
An open question for cosmologists concerns whether the universe is infinite or finite. For a flat cosmology, the topology of the universe can take on any one of 18 manifolds, some of which are...

John Dulin with Glenn StarkmanHearing the Shape of the UniverseThe past few years of work on discerning the topology of the universe have focused on methods like cosmic crystallography and circles-in-the-sky searches, as well as examinations of the correlation matrix to uncover manifolds with non-trivial topology. While helping to...
