- Cosmic Topology
General relativity does not allow one to specify the topology of space, leaving the possibility that space is multi- rather than simply- connected. This paper reviews the mathematical properties of multi-connected spaces, and the different tools to classify them and to analyse their properties. http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9605010 (Added: Thu Jan 01 2004 Hits: 0 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0)

Review It - Minkowski Functionals in Cosmology
Minkowski functionals provide a novel tool to characterize the large-scale galaxy distribution in the Universe. Here we give a brief tutorial on the basic features of these morphological measures and indicate their practical application for simulation data and galaxy redshift catalogues as examples. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9508154 (Added: Thu Jan 01 2004 Hits: 0 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0)
