Abstract
The issue of the "eternal return" is examined from the perspective of the topology of spacetime. Constraints on dynamical laws for the periodic evolution of a system or universe are highlighted. Using a Fourier series expansion, an infinite set of simultaneous linear equations is formulated for the periodic evolution of a system/universe.
