The COMPACT Collaboration

Collaboration for Observations, Models and Predictions of Anomalies and Cosmic Topology

[The COMPACT Collaboration @CompactCollab]

An overview of the work we in @CompactCollab are doing to figure out the topology of the Universe. Thanks to @PhysRevLett for focussing on it.

[Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett]

The first report of the COMPACT Collaboration finds that Cosmic Microwave Background data does not yet rule out the Universe having nontrivial topology, such a twisted 3-torus.

What shape is the Universe? An international team of scientists @CompactCollab are trying to find out https://t.co/k7MAxxb4PC

[Yashar Akrami @YasharAkrami]

Here is our new @CompactCollab paper, where we demonstrate that cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements from upcoming experiments can provide new avenues for detecting cosmic topology (i.e., the shape of the Universe):

Is the universe infinite, or does it have a hidden shape waiting to be discovered? 🌌

@YasharAkrami from #IFT is leading groundbreaking research on cosmic topology, featured in @QuantaMagazine
