The acoustic wave equation in the expanding universe. Sachs-Wolfe theorem

Abstract

In this paper the acoustic field propagating in the early hot ($p=\epsilon/$) universe of arbitrary space curvature ($K=0, \pm 1$) is considered. The field equations are reduced to the d'Alembert equation in an auxiliary static Roberson-Walker space-time. Symbolic computation in {\em Mathematica} is applied.
