The Energy Density of "Wound" Fields in a Toroidal Universe

Astrophysics 2008-11-26 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

The observational limits on the present energy density of the Universe allow for a component that redshifts like 1/a21/a^2 and can contribute significantly to the total. We show that a possible origin for such a contribution is that the universe has a toroidal topology with "wound" scalar fields around its cycles.
