Temperature correlations in a compact hyperbolic universe

The effect of a non-trivial topology on the temperature correlations on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in a small compact hyperbolic universe with volume comparable to the cube of the curvature radius is investigated. Because the bulk of large-angular CMB fluctuations is produced at the late epoch in low ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_0$ models, the effect of a long wavelength cut-off due to the periodic structure does not lead to the significant suppression of large-angular power as in compact flat models. The angular power spectra are consistent with the COBE data for ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_0\ge 0.1$.
