There is an elementary but indispensable relationship between the topology and geometry of massive particles. The geometric spin $s$ is related to the topological dimension of the internal space $V$ by $\dim V = 2s + 1$. This breaks down…
We introduce a new 2-D hexagon technique to probe the topological structure of the universe, in which we map regions of the sky with high and low galaxy densities onto a 2-D lattice of hexagon unit cells, We define filled cells as…
Starting from the $\rm{GCH},$ we build a cardinal and $\rm{GCH}$ preserving generic extension of the universe, in which there exists a set $A \subseteq \omega_2$ of size $\aleph_2$ so that every countably infinite subset of $A$ or $\omega_2…
This work is related to different questions within cosmology. The principal idea herein is to develop cosmological knowledge making use of the analyses of observational data in order to find the values of the matter density Omega_m and…
Recent observations suggest that the ratio of the total density to the critical density of the universe, $\Omega_0$, is likely to be very close to one, with a significant proportion of this energy being in the form of a dark component with…
Strongly zero-dimensional topological groups $G_1$, $G_2$, and $G$ such that $G_1\times G_2$ has positive covering dimension and $G$ contains a closed subgroup of positive covering dimension are constructed. Moreover, all finite powers of…
We clarify and develop the results of a previous paper on the birth of a closed universe of negative spatial curvature and multiply connected topology. In particular we discuss the initial instanton and the second topology change in more…
We prove the formula $TC(G\ast H)=\max\{TC(G), TC(H), cd(G\times H)\}$ for the topological complexity of the free product of discrete groups with cohomological dimension >2.
We provide an upper bound on the topological complexity of twisted products. We use it to give an estimate $$TC(X)\le TC(\pi_1(X))+\dim X$$ of the topological complexity of a space in terms of its dimension and the complexity of its…
In this paper, we study upper bounds for the topological complexity of the total spaces of some classes of fibre bundles. We calculate a tight upper bound for the topological complexity of an $n$-dimensional Klein bottle. We also compute…
We use ku-cohomology to determine lower bounds for the topological complexity of 2-torsion lens spaces. In the process, we give an almost-complete description of the tensor product of two copies of the ku-homology of infinite mod 2^e lens…
In this note, we consider the space $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open set $\Omega\subset {\mathbb C}$. If $H(\Omega)$ is endowed with its natural topology and $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ is endowed with…
We prove that colouring of pairs from aleph_2 with strong properties exists. The easiest to state (and quite a well known problem) it solves: there are two topological spaces with cellularity aleph_1 whose product has cellularity aleph_2 ;…
We report the discovery of a localized overdensity at z~1.6 in the GOODS-South Field, presumably a poor cluster in the process of formation. The three-dimensional galaxy density has been estimated on the basis of well calibrated photometric…
We study the possibility that the universe has compact topologies T^3, T^2 x R^1, or S^1 x R^2 using the seven-year WMAP data. The maximum likelihood 95% confidence intervals for the size L of the compact direction are 1.7 < L/L_0 < 2.1,…
We calculate the particle production rate in an expanding universe with a three-torus topology. We discuss also the complete evolution of the size of such a universe. The energy density of particles created through the nonzero modes is…
It is an interesting, maybe surprising, fact that different dense subspaces of even "nice" topological spaces can have different densities. So, our aim here is to investigate the set of densities of all dense subspaces of a topological…
We calculate the probability of creation of a universe with space topology $S^{1}\times T_{g}$, where $S^{1}$ is the circle and $T_{g}$ is a compact hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We use the method of path integrals as applied to…
Exact solutions for a model with variable $G$, $\Lambda$ and bulk viscosity are obtained. Inflationary solutions with constant (de Sitter-type) and variable energy density are found. An expanding anisotropic universe is found to isotropize…
A topological space is called P_2 ( P_3, P_{<omega} ) if and only if it does not contain two (three, finitely many) uncountable open sets with empty intersection. We show that (i) there are 0-dimensional P_{<omega} spaces of size 2^omega,…
