Observational Constraints on Open Inflation Models

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We discuss observational constraints on models of open inflation. Current data from large-scale structure and the cosmic microwave background prefer models with blue spectra and/or Omega_0 >= 0.3--0.5. Models with minimal anisotropy at large angles are strongly preferred.
