2d Torus Imagine a cube which each parallel pair of its faces has been identified Then Confine the Last Scattering Surface into a 3d Torus
* Calculation of Correlation Function On large angular scales where topological effect becomes important, Sachs-Wolf effect is dominant and the relation between temperature of Last Scattering Surface and gravitational potential is: Conformal time Correlation using only Sachs-Wolf effect

Correlation Function in a Compact Toroidal Universe R x x’ Using FFT method one can easily find the two point correlation function for each pair very fast
Using FFT method and generating map realization 1) First we need to generate correlation matrix for each two point. For the last scattering surface we use HEALPix pixelization. 2) Decompose the covariance matrix into two matrices. 3) Multiply the decomposed matrix into a random matrix to have a map realization. Random matrix, < >
Correlation maps … The correlations between the pole of last scattering surface and the other points of the sphere. R/L = 1.5 The correlations between the pole of last scattering surface and the other points of the sphere. R/L = 1 R L

Correlation Function in a Compact Torus Universe Using all physical sources. To considering all physical effect (not only naive Sachs-Wolf effect, we have such relation: What to do ! ? If we have statistical isotropy, the angular parts could be taken out and calculated easily to reduce the relation to: But, to investigate the topological effects we can no longer do the previous method. The integral over 3 dimensional k space is also taking the huge time (e.g. its order of magnitude is something like the Universe age ) S is the source function which contains all information since the CMB photons emitted to this point we observe them Regarding to this condition the above integral should be taken over 1 dimensional k space and the process is fast enough.

Statistical analysis of different generated maps … Symmetrical Maps (smaps): For each point of map it can be defined another temperature which is the square root of mean square of difference of each point temperature and its image regarding to the plain which it normal vector is the axis of symmetry connecting the main point and the center of the sphere. Symmetrical Maps (smaps): The point which has lower temperature shows the axis around which the map is most symmetrical. Doing some statistical analysis might enable us to get some particular limits on most probable volume of the compact space. St = < (T1-T2)2 >1/2 T1 T2 Oliveira-Costa & Smoot 1995 Oliveira-Costa 2003
