Hyperbolic Universes with a Horned Topology and the CMB Anisotropy
  We analyse the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in hyperbolic universes possessing a non-trivial topology with a fundamental cell having an infinitely long horn. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we show that the horned topology does not lead to a flat spot in the CMB sky maps in the direction of the horn as stated in the literature. On the other hand, we demonstrate that a horned topology having a finite volume could explain the suppression of the lower multipoles in the CMB anisotropy as observed by COBE and WMAP.
