Topological evolution and cosmic chaos

Abstract

An account on the origins of cosmic chaos and its physical impact in an open and multiply connected universe is given. A new type of cosmic evolution by topological deformations, unpredicted by Einstein's equations, is pointed out. The chaoticity of the galactic world-lines provides a mechanism to create the galactic equidistribution. Global metrical deformations of the open and multiply connected spacelike slices induce angular fluctuations in the temperature of the microwave background. They cause backscattering of electromagnetic fields and particle creation in quantum fields. The topological microstructure of spacetime provides a mechanism for CP violation by self-interference.
