Supernovae Constraints on Cosmological Density Parameter and Cosmic Topology

Astrophysics 2016-11-15 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We illustrate the constraints that a possible detection of a non-trivial spatial topology may place on the cosmological density parameters by considering the Λ\LambdaCDM model Poincar\'e dodecahedal space (PDS) topology as a circles-in-the-sky detectable topology. To this end we reanalyze the type Ia supernovae constraints on the density parameter plane Ωk\Omega_k--ΩΛ\Omega_{\Lambda} and show that a circles-in-the-sky detectable PDS topology gives rise to important constraints on this parameters plane.
