For one, limits need not be unique in the general case. This could happen if there are not enough neighborhoods to direct the sequence to a single point, which is why we require manifolds to be Hausdorff.

Moreover, sequences are just functions from the naturals to our space, so they are inherently \emph{countable} in nature. Indeed, we are used to many nice properties of limits. For instance, if a function in real space preserves the limits of sequences, then it is guaranteed to be continuous. But such a test might not hold in the general case. Indeed, we could find too many neighborhoods around each point, such that a simple sequence does not suffice for detecting properties like continuity. Requiring the space to be \emph{first countable} (that is, requiring that each point has a countable basis for its neighborhoods) solves this issue. In fact, we require an even stronger condition for manifolds in second countability (that is, a countable basis must exist for the entire space). %%I'm actually not super sure what second countability adds over first countability here, but perhaps even first countability can have the issue of ``too many open sets'' (this time at a global level).

A key aspect of this pursuit is understanding the ways in which \emph{eigenmodes of the Helmholtz equation} (which we formally define in the next section) behave under different spherical topologies, as these modes determine the possible temperature fluctuations in a CMB model. The work of Aurich, Lustig, and Steiner (2005) explores these spectral properties and their consequences for modeling CMB fluctuations in spherical space forms.

Section 3 of \cite{aurich_2005} constitutes the technical part of the paper, the complete understanding of which requires a background in cosmology. The authors' goal is to compute the relative fluctuations $\frac{\delta T}{T}$ of the CMB for the various spherical manifolds obtained as the quotients of finite subgroups of $SO(4)$. First, they explain how the CMB fluctuations arise as manifestations of different effects, such as the Sachs-Wolfe contribution. For the computations, the authors assume that the initial values for the fluctuations corresponding to each wave number are certain Gaussian random variables.

\subsection{CMB radiation in an inhomogeneous spherical space}
|
||||
In \cite{Aurich_2011}, the authors consider the CMB in spherical 3-manifolds that are \textit{multi-connected} and inhomogeneous, comparing them with their homogeneous counterparts. To start off, the manifolds used in the paper are all of the form $\mathbb S^3/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a group acting on $\mathbb S^3$, with the quotient being the set of orbits. The space being multi-connected means it is not simply connected, i.e. that not all loops are contractable to a point.
|
||||
|
||||
%This can also be seen as a covering, where $\S^3$ is the covering space, $\S^3/\Gamma$ is the space being covered, $\Gamma$ is the automorphism group and $\pi: x\mapsto \Gamma x$ is the covering map.

||||
%This can also be seen as a covering, where $\S^3$ is the covering space, $\S^3/\Gamma$ is the space being covered, $\Gamma$ is the automorphism group and $\pi: x\mapsto \Gamma x$ is the covering map.
|
||||
The condition of the manifold being inhomogeneous means that, unlike the 3-sphere $\mathbb S^3$ and 3-torus $\mathbb T^3$, the manifold does not look the same at each point on the manifold. We will define this properly later. Because of inhomogeneity, the CMB is very much dependent on the point of observation.

An important concept needed for formalizing this concept is that of the fundamental domain. Given the manifold $\mathbb S^3/\Gamma$, a fundamental domain is a subset of $\S^3$ which covers the entirety of $\S^3$ under the action of $\Gamma$. Moreover, all non-identity elements of $\Gamma$ must send elements in this set outside of it.

Intuitively, one can imagine the manifold being covered by disjoint copies of the fundamental domain placed next to eachother, similarly to how $\mathbb{R}$ is tiled by the intervals $[n,n+1)$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, forming a collection of such domains that cover the space under the standard action of $\mathbb{Z}$ on $\mathbb{R}$. Importantly, we are interested in one specific fundamental domain called the \emph{Voronoi domain}. Given an observation point $x_0\in\S^3$, the Voronoi domain is the set of elements $x\in\S^3$ such that

To determine whether a spherical manifold is homogeneous, one must understand the way group action changes with observer position. Changing the observer position is done mathematically by applying a change of coordinates $u'=uq$ with $u\in\S^3$ and $q$ an isometry in $\text{SU}(2,\mathbb C) \equiv \S^3$, making $u=q^{-1}$ the new origin $u'=q^{-1}q=e$. Then, using the general group element $g = (g_l,g_r)\in\Gamma$ and letting $\tilde u = g\cdot u = (g_l)^{-1}ug_r $, we get $ \tilde u' = (g_l)^{-1} u' (q^{-1}g_rq) $. The transformation in our shifted space is then $g' = (g_{l},q^{-1}g_{r}q)$, which generally differs from $g=(g_l,g_r)$. Therefore, if $g_r = q^{-1}g_rq$ does not hold for some $g$ and $q$ in the manifold, then the manifold is known to be inhomogeneous.

In the article, the authors discuss different spherical 3-manifolds, classifying whether they are inhomogeneous, analyzing their properties, and finding equivalences. Specifically, they look at manifolds of the form $\S^3/\Gamma$ with $\Gamma$ a group of order $8$, in order to make the volume equal to $2\pi^2/8$. Within those restrictions, we have the lens spaces $L(8,1)$ and $L(8,3)$, the cubic Platonic manifolds $N2$ and $N3$, and the manifold $D_8^*$ obtained when $\Gamma$ is the binary dihedral group. Analyzing said manifolds, one finds the equivalences $N2 \equiv L(8,3)$ and $N3\equiv D_8^*$. Furthermore, using the theory introduced previously, we learn that $N2$ is inhomogeneous while $N3$ and $L(8,1)$ are homogeneous.

The rest of the article is about finding out how the CMB would look like in our three spaces $L(8,1)$, $L(8,3)\equiv N2$ and $N3$, with a focus on the difference between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous manifolds. For example, it finds that inhomogeneous spaces like $N2$ have a much higher variety of CMB anisotropies, because of how elements $g\in\Gamma$ act different depending on the observer. The main result is related to the suppression of CMB anisotropy over angles $60^\circ$ and larger. We see the strongest suppression in the Voronoi domains of $N2$ that are Platonic cube shaped. On the other hand, we see the least suppression in the lens shaped Voronoi domains of $N2$. Looking at $N3$ together with the total energy density parameter $\Omega_\text{tot}>1.07$, we notice an even larger suppression than for observers in $N2$.

In a positively curved space (e.g., a three-sphere), allowed wave modes are quantized, which could lead to certain multipoles scales being preferred or suppressed in the CMB power spectrum.

We took a detour into the realm of \emph{inverse spectral geometry and the Laplace-Beltrami operator}, and investigated isospectral pairs of spherical forms. Were any such pairs to exist, ambiguity in CMB analysis would become an issue, as our primary approach is analysis of the manifolds' spectrums. The silver lining is that all three-dimensional isospectral pairs of spherical spaces are also isometric, implying that determining the eigenmode spectrum is enough to determine the underlying topology for our spatial universe.
