The Energy Density of "Wound" Fields in a Toroidal Universe
Abstract
The observational limits on the present energy density of the Universe allow for a component that redshifts like 1/a2 and can contribute significantly to the total. We show that a possible origin for such a contribution is that the universe has a toroidal topology with "wound" scalar fields around its cycles.
