"projective sphere" (fwd)
by boud 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

hi, i received this from a friend. The projective sphere is the 2-sphere S^2 where each point is identified with its opposite point. So the fundamental polygon is a hemisphere. Geodesics only intersect once in the projective sphere. > Hi Boud, > what an irony, but I am looking for your help with Polish !!! > Could you or your collaborators on topology in Torun > enlighten me with Polish term for "projective sphere" ? > Thanks in advance, Can anyone help? boud

topology - WMAP - urgent
by boud 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Witam, Micha³, Bartek, anyone else interested. Now that there's some big time media coverage, anyone interested in working together on this? IMHO it's urgent to do the analysis ourselves. I haven't fully understand Marek's comments, but I think he's just playing safe ;) - no harm there. Anyone who sees signs that our North/South American and or European colleagues have done something concrete on this, please say and point to the URL!

Extraits d'un article du New-York Times du 11 mars 2003 "Universe as Doughnut: New Data, New Debate" The New York Times March 11, 2003 Universe as Doughnut: New Data, New Debate By DENNIS OVERBYE Long ago in the dawn of the computer age, college students often whiled away the nights playing a computer game called Spacewar. It consisted of two rocket ships attempting to blast each other out of the sky with torpedoes while trying to avoid falling into a star at the center of the screen. Although cartoonish in appearance, the game was amazingly faithful to the laws of physics, complete with a gravitational field that affected both the torpedoes and the rockets. Only one feature seemed outlandish: a ship that drifted off the edge of the screen would reappear on the opposite side. Real space couldn't work that way. Or could it? Imagine that the Spacewar screen is wrapped around to form a cylinder or a section of a doughnut so that the two edges meet. That is the picture of space, some cosmologists say, that has been suggested by a new detailed map of the early universe. Their analysis of this map has now provided a series of hints though only hints that the universe may have a more complicated shape than astronomers presumed. ... This mirror game is not limited to cubes and doughnuts. Over the years mathematicians, particularly Dr. William Paul Thurston, now at the University of California at Davis, and Dr. Jeffrey Weeks, an independent mathematician, have speculated about universes composed of various polyhedrons glued together in various ways. In 1996 the French astronomer Dr. Jean-Pierre Luminet of the Paris Observatory and his colleagues Dr. Roland Lehoucq and Dr. Marc Lachieze-Rey, both of the Center for Astrophysical Studies in Saclay, France, developed a method called "cosmic crystallography," using galaxy statistics to detect and diagnose the repeating periodic patterns that would be created in the sky by light going around and around in differently shaped universe.

A global knowledge of the geometry of space, if possible, would require measurement of the topology of the Universe. Since the subject was discussed in 1900 by Schwarzschild, observational attempts to measure global topology have been rare for most of this century, but have accelerated in the 1990's due to the rapidly increasing amount of observations of non-negligible fractions of the observational sphere. The basic physical test for measuring the topology of the Universe is simple from a na\"{\i}ve theoretical point of view: it is sufficient to see multiple images of extragalactic objects whose light travels to the observer via straight lines (geodesics) in different directions, or in other words that crosses the Universe from different directions or more than once. Hence, the term ``topological lensing'', since whatever theory might in the future explain the global shape of the Universe will presumably be an extension of general relativity, and just as general relativity is tested by gravitational lensing, where single objects such as high redshift galaxies are seen several times, the future theory (probably a theory of quantum gravity) should be constrained by topological lensing. In practice, just as the individual and statistical observational properties of extragalactic objects have made determination of local cosmological parameters (such as the matter density parameter, the cosmological constant and the Hubble constant) much more difficult than was hoped, their properties make the search for topological lensing difficult. The most promising objects at high redshifts for detecting topological lensing are those we can see in large numbers and across large volumes of space: (1) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and (2) clusters of galaxies. In the Toru\'n Centre for Astronomy, we have a combination of \begin{list}{(\roman{enumi})}{\usecounter{enumi}} \item existing observational expertise in radio-loud AGNs (RLAGNs) including the study of the evolution of RLAGNs (Marecki, Kunert, Gawro\'nski); and \item with the OCRA (One-cm Receiver Array) project, we hope to soon obtain a catalogue of thousands of clusters of galaxies at high redshifts via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (Soberski); and \item the PI (Roukema) has developed observational strategies for investigating cosmic topology. \end{list} For this reason, we have an excellent opportunity at TCfA to excel in this field. Although our focus will be on the use of RLAGNs and clusters of galaxies, knowledge of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observational analyses will be crucial for independently checking any serious candidates for topological lensing. We are fortunate to have the presence in our group of an expert in CMB data, Bartosz Lew, who we expect to achieve the status of Magister during 2003. \clearpage \begin{flushleft} \textbf{C.

OPIS PROJEKTU BADAWCZEGO, METODYKA BADA\'N ORAZ CHARAKTERYSTYKA OCZEKIWANYCH WYNIKÓW} \end{flushleft} \begin{flushleft} {\em 1. Cel naukowy projektu - jaki problem wnioskodawca podejmuje się rozwiąza\'c, co jest jego istotą, co uzasadnia podjęcie tego problemu w Polsce, jakie przes\l{}anki sk\l{}aniają wnioskodawcę do podjęcia proponowanego tematu?} \end{flushleft} The problem being posed is to try to measure the shape of the Universe. This is important because the Universe is the object in which we live and it is of obvious scientific and cultural interest to be aware of the shape of the object in which we live. It should be undertaken here because we have a combination of present and developing observational expertise in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGNs) and clusters of galaxies via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect respectively, plus expertise in the development of observational strategies for measuring cosmic topology. Poland has obvious historical precedents in showing that the Earth is not the centre of the Universe, and that planets around other stars exist. It would clearly be good to continue the tradition on a much larger length scale (Gigaparsecs). \begin{flushleft} {\em 2. Istniejący stan wiedzy w zakresie tematu bada\'n -jaki oryginalny wk\l{}ad wniesie rozwiązanie postawionego problemu do dorobku danej dyscypliny naukowej w \'swiecie i w Polsce, czy w kraju i w \'swiecie jest to problem nowy czy kontynuowany i w jakim zakresie weryfikuje utarte poglądy i dotychczasowy stan wiedzy?} \end{flushleft} It is clear that topological lensing on scales of a few hundred Megaparsecs is extremely unlikely. Attempted constraints on scales from 1 Gigaparsec (1$h^{-1}$Gpc) to the horizon diameter of about 20$h^{-1}$Gpc (comoving) are much weaker and generally very model dependent. This project will use RLAGNs and clusters of galaxies up to redshifts of about $z\sim2-3$ as tracers, covering a volume of about half the diameter of the observable Universe, i.e. about 10$h^{-1}$Gpc. It will advance discovery and understanding by using these tracers as realistically as possible given understanding of their evolution and properties. This problem dates back to the pre-relativistic era (Schwarzschild 1900), but has only been tackled non-trivially since the early 1990s. Work on this theme is still in the pioneering stage. \begin{flushleft} {\em 3. Metodyka bada\'n - co stanowi podstawę naukowego warsztatu wnioskodawcy i jak zamierza rozwiąza\'c postawiony problem, na czym będzie polega\'c analiza i opracowanie wyników bada\'n, jakie urządzenia (aparatura) zostaną wykorzystane w badaniach, czy wnioskodawca ma do nich bezpo\'sredni dostęp i umiejętno\'s\'c obs\l{}ugi?} \end{flushleft} The methodology is to use a range of methods, from studies of individual objects to statistical studies of large catalogues, and to parametrise understanding of the properties of the tracers in order to make these methods as observationally correct and precise as possible. Just as the supernova type Ia method was only one among many methods proposed for measuring local cosmological parameters, but happened to be the most dramatically successful, it is impossible to predict beforehand which specific method for measuring topological lensing will first yield highly significant results. Although the TCfA 32m telescope will be used for part of the general understanding of RLAGNs and for the OCRA project, which should in the long term yield large numbers of high-redshift clusters of galaxies, use of existing public catalogues such as those available at the Centre de Donn\'ees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) and the information processing analysis requires the use of computers and computer peripherals. We do have access to these telescopes and databases and have experience managing computer resources. \begin{flushleft} {\em 4. Co będzie wymiernym, udokumentowanym efektem podjętego problemu - zak\l{}adany sposób przekazu i upowszechnienia wyników (publikacje naukowe oraz referaty na konferencjach w kraju i za granicą, monografie naukowe, rozprawy doktorskie i habilitacyjne, nowe patenty i ,,know-how'', nowe metody i urządzenia badawcze)?} \end{flushleft} This is a {\bf research} project, not a {\bf development} project, and the required theory which goes beyond general relativity has not yet been developed, so while we would hope to detect topological lensing, the results cannot be predicted before they are found. Articles on the results will of course be published in refereed journals, presented at conferences, and professionals and non-professionals will be able to follow (and maybe participate) in the research on our web pages via the normal methods of internet culture such as publicly archived mailing lists and wiki pages. \begin{flushleft} \end{flushleft} \begin{flushleft} \textbf{E.

Porównywanie par obiektów w dużych katalogach jest operacją czasochłonną (jak $N^2$), wymagającą dużej mocy obliczeniowej. Można ją przyspieszyć poprzeż wprowadzenie odgórnych założeń. Jednakże, historia astronomii pokazuje że przyjmowanie rozsądnych, ale złych zalożen często prowadzi do przeoczenia prawdziwego sygnału, więc posiadanie dużej mocy obliczeniowej byłoby dużym zyskiem dla projektu.

Trzech ludzi, każdy po jednym miesiącu i czterech ludzi każdy po jednym tygodniu, w ciagu jednego roku, daje w sumie 12 osobo-miesiecy w okresie 3 lat trwania projektu. Koszt 5100 PLN/miesiąc na zagranicznych konsultantów z dziedziny kosmologii daje razem: 61200 PLN. \smallskip (2) W celu prezentacji naszych wyników na konferencjach i innych spotkaniach naukowych, uczestnictwo na dwóch międzynarodowych konferencjach na cząstkową osobe na rok byłoby zgodne z światowymi standardami Pojedyncza konferencja: międzynarodowy (Europa, Stany Zjednoczone) typowy przejazd pociągiem klasy drugiej (lub lot samolotem) w Europie, lub podróż samolotem do USA średnio wynosi 2000 PLN; miedzykontynentalny lot (economy class) (Indie/Japonia/Australia) nie przekracza 10000 PLN; tak więc średnio 3.5 kPLN jest bezpiecznym kompromisem.

Technical papers are at http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_mm/pub_papers/firstyear.html and a pretty picture and less-technical explanation of the results is at http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/m_mm.html The most exciting thing about the results is that there are no big surprises! The angular power spectrum, which is the primary bit of science you get out of a microwave background sky map, is very consistent with what has become the "standard model" of cosmology: a flat inflation-based model containing dark matter and dark energy. The power spectrum is well measured past the second acoustic peak and into the third one. The temperature-polarization cross-correlation signal was also seen at about the expected level. Although surprises in the data would have been fun, the lack of surprises is actually extremely remarkable, considering (a) how strange the "standard model" is and (b) how recently cosmology has become a mature scientific discipline. I haven't read the papers yet -- there are 13 of them, some quite long! But here are a couple of highlights from scanning abstracts and figures: 1. The data let you constrain cosmological parameters much more precisely than before. In particular, the age of the Universe is 13.7 +/- 0.2 Gyr. (Not that long ago, we couldn't say more than "12 to 20 Gyr"!) The Universe is flat: Omega total is 1.02 +/- 0.02. The densities of various forms of matter and energy are pinned down quite well too. One reason WMAP is such an improvement over previous data is that it's a single data set covering both large and small scales. To get limits on parameters from previous data, you had to stitch together COBE on large scales with other experiments on small scales. Since each experiment has its own calibration errors, that means you don't measure the heights of the peaks all that well. 2. The TE polarization correlation showed up as expected. This strongly confirms that the initial fluctuations were adiabatic. That matters, because adiabatic fluctuations are a strong prediction of inflation, and large-scale adiabatic fluctuations are hard to produce in any way other than inflation. 3. The large-angular-scale polarization gives information about the way the Universe reionized after the time of decoupling. This is an area about which very little was known before now: reionization had to have happened some time, but the data didn't say when. Now we know: the optical depth to reionization is 0.17 +/- 0.04, which means that the Universe reionized at an age of about 200000 years. This is presumably when the first stars formed -- their UV radiation is what presumably reionized the Universe. 4. There is a hint that the spectral index may vary with scale, from n>1 on large scales to n<1 on small scales. That is, the primordial spectrum of fluctuations may not have been a pure power law. That's only significant at the 2-sigma level, so it may go away. If it's true, it gives useful information on discriminating between specific inflationary models. That's all I'll say for now. There's a ton of information in this data set, and people will be poring over it for a long time to come, but those are the main things that jumped out at me after a quick look. On a non-scientific note, they changed MAP to WMAP. The W stands for Wilkinson, a member of the MAP team who died last year. David Wilkinson was a leader in observational cosmology for decades, and this is a very fitting tribute to him. -Ted -- [E-mail me at name(a)domain.edu, as opposed to name(a)machine.domain.edu.] -- end of forwarded message -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrzej Marecki | Torun Centre for Astronomy | e-mail: amr(a)astro.uni.torun.pl N.

SMBH mass is _not_ responsible for the radio loudness. 2. The alleged RL/RQ dichotomy is a selection effect - there is a continuum of possible levels of radio loudness.

A global knowledge of the geometry of space, if possible, would require measurement of the topology of the Universe. Since the subject was discussed in 1900 by Schwarzschild, observational attempts to measure global topology have been rare for most of this century, but have accelerated in the 1990's due to the rapidly increasing amount of observations of non-negligible fractions of the observational sphere. The basic physical test for measuring the topology of the Universe is simple from a na\"{\i}ve theoretical point of view: it is sufficient to see multiple images of extragalactic objects whose light travels to the observer via straight lines (geodesics) in different directions, or in other words that crosses the Universe from different directions or more than once. Hence, the term ``topological lensing'', since whatever theory might in the future explain the global shape of the Universe will presumably be an extension of general relativity, and just as general relativity is tested by gravitational lensing, where single objects such as high redshift galaxies are seen several times, the future theory (probably a theory of quantum gravity) should be constrained by topological lensing. In practice, just as the individual and statistical observational properties of extragalactic objects have made determination of local cosmological parameters (such as the matter density parameter, the cosmological constant and the Hubble constant) much more difficult than was hoped, their properties make the search for topological lensing difficult. The most promising objects at high redshifts for detecting topological lensing are those we can see in large numbers and across large volumes of space: (1) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and (2) clusters of galaxies. In the Toru\'n Centre for Astronomy, we have a combination of \begin{list}{(\roman{enumi})}{\usecounter{enumi}} \item existing observational expertise in radio-loud AGNs (RLAGNs) including the study of the evolution of RLAGNs (Marecki, Kunert, Gawro\'nski); and \item with the OCRA (One-cm Receiver Array) project, we hope to soon obtain a catalogue of thousands of clusters of galaxies at high redshifts via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (Soberski); and \item the PI (Roukema) has developed observational strategies for investigating cosmic topology. \end{list} For this reason, we have an excellent opportunity at TCfA to excel in this field. Although our focus will be on the use of RLAGNs and clusters of galaxies, knowledge of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observational analyses will be crucial for independently checking any serious candidates for topological lensing. We are fortunate to have the presence in our group of an expert in CMB data, Bartosz Lew, who we expect to achieve the status of Magister during 2003. \clearpage \begin{flushleft} \textbf{C.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION, METHODOLOGY, AND EXPECTED RESULTS} \end{flushleft} \begin{flushleft} \end{flushleft} \begin{flushleft} \textbf{ }{\em What problem is being proposed and why? Why should this work be undertaken in Poland?} \end{flushleft} The problem being posed is to try to measure the shape of the Universe. This is important because the Universe is the object in which we live and it is of obvious scientific and cultural interest to be aware of the shape of the object in which we live. It should be undertaken here because we have a combination of present and developing observational expertise in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (RLAGNs) and clusters of galaxies via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect respectively, plus expertise in the development of observational strategies for measuring cosmic topology. Poland has obvious historical precedents in showing that the Earth is not the centre of the Universe, and that planets around other stars exist. It would clearly be good to continue the tradition on a much larger length scale (Gigaparsecs). \begin{flushleft} {\em What is the present state of knowledge in the field, and to what extent does this project verify it? How will the project advance discovery and understanding in its field or across fields? Is this a new or a continued problem? } \end{flushleft} It is clear that topological lensing on scales of a few hundred Megaparsecs is extremely unlikely. Attempted constraints on scales from 1 Gigaparsec (1$h^{-1}$Gpc) to the horizon diameter of about 20$h^{-1}$Gpc (comoving) are much weaker and generally very model dependent. This project will use RLAGNs and clusters of galaxies up to redshifts of about $z\sim2-3$ as tracers, covering a volume of about half the diameter of the observable Universe, i.e. about 10$h^{-1}$Gpc. It will advance discovery and understanding by using these tracers as realistically as possible given understanding of their evolution and properties. This problem dates back to the pre-relativistic era (Schwarzschild 1900), but has only been tackled non-trivially since the early 1990s. Work on this theme is still in the pioneering stage. \begin{flushleft} {\em What is the proposed methodology? How will it solve the problem? What equipment will be used? Does the applicant have the required equipment skills and access?} \end{flushleft} The methodology is to use a range of methods, from studies of individual objects to statistical studies of large catalogues, and to parametrise understanding of the properties of the tracers in order to make these methods as observationally correct and precise as possible. Just as the supernova type Ia method was only one among many methods proposed for measuring local cosmological parameters, but happened to be the most dramatically successful, it is impossible to predict beforehand which specific method for measuring topological lensing will first yield highly significant results. Although the TCfA 32m telescope will be used for part of the general understanding of RLAGNs and for the OCRA project, which should in the long term yield large numbers of high-redshift clusters of galaxies, use of existing public catalogues such as those available at the Centre de Donn\'ees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) and the information processing analysis requires the use of computers and computer peripherals. We do have access to these telescopes and databases and have experience managing computer resources. \begin{flushleft} {\em What are the expected results of this project (``know-how'', patents, methods, equipment), and how will they be disseminated (publications, conference presentations, PhD theses)?} \end{flushleft} This is a {\bf research} project, not a {\bf development} project, and the required theory which goes beyond general relativity has not yet been developed, so while we would hope to detect topological lensing, the results cannot be predicted before they are found. Articles on the results will of course be published in refereed journals, presented at conferences, and professionals and non-professionals will be able to follow (and maybe participate) in the research on our web pages via the normal methods of internet culture such as publicly archived mailing lists and wiki pages. \begin{flushleft} \textbf{E.} \textbf{SOLICITED PROJECTS ONLY: DOES THE APPLICANT MEET THE CALL CRITERIA, PARTICULARLY THOSE CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION?} \end{flushleft} N/A \begin{flushleft} \textbf{F.

grant meeting Fri 24.01 @14:00
by Boud Roukema 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Witam, people *not* on the grant proposal - please ignore this message! people *on* the grant proposal - i think most of us will be at Piwnice on Fri afternoon (24.01). Could we meet at 14:00 to discuss the proposal? i've updated it a bit since the previous version, i'll bring several copies to the meeting. You may wish to see advice from Kazik Stepień about making the application: http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/~kst/KBN.html though IMHO what's most important, apart from the overall guidelines of spending rules, is the committee of astronomers - they're the only ones who will really understand (or who *should* understand) what science we are asking funding for. It seems to me that Kazik is a bit worried about bureaucrats who want to have the price of every paper clip written on the proposal and who haven't got the faintest idea of what cosmology is about... Anyway, see you this afternoon - i need some sleep... boud

A healthy dose of scepticism or a humbug?

Paper: astro-ph/0301137 From: Blanchard Alain <alain.blanchard(a)ast.obs-mip.fr> Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 17:45:24 GMT (138kb) Title: Cosmological Parameters: Fashion and Facts Authors: A. Blanchard (LAOMP, Toulouse) Abstract: [...] I would like to emphasize that some results are established beyond reasonable doubt, like the (nearly) flatness of the universe and the existence of a dark non-baryonic component of the Universe. But also that the evidence for a cosmological constant may not be as strong as needed to be considered as established beyond doubt. In this respect, I will argue that an Einstein-De Sitter universe might still be a viable option. Three global tests: 1) the evolution of the abundance of clusters with redshift 2) the baryon fraction measured in local clusters 3) apparent evolution of the baryon fraction with redshift might be consistent with a high matter density for the Universe in the range $0.6-1.$. I therefore conclude that the dominance of vacuum to the various density contributions to the Universe is presently an interesting and fascinating possibility, but it is still premature to consider it as an established scientific fact. ------- Andrzej

Hi Waldek, Sorry for taking more than a week to respond, now that you have a theme for your licencjat. Here's my first suggestion at the basic ideas and reading: http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl:9673/zwicky/GalaxyAGNFormation Please add to this, change it, and/or write the Polish version. If you prefer to write in \LaTex rather than on zwicky, tell me and I'll find out how you can upload files (e.g. postscript files) to zWicky - otherwise you could just send them as attachments to cosmo-torun at astro.uni.torun.pl when you want to show them to people for comments. pozdrawiam boud

'(case-fold-search t) '(current-language-environment "latin-2") '(default-input-method "latin-2-prefix")) (2) The zwicky pages at the moment have a verrrrrrrrrry long URL: http://adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl:9673/zwicky/ Please see Tomek (czosnek) or me to create an account. pozd boud
