Kramer, Peter Harmonic polynomials on the Poincaré dodecahedral three-manifold. (English) Zbl 1112.43009 J. Geom. Symmetry Phys. 6, 55-66 (2006). With Lie-algebraic methods a set of orthogonal harmonic polynomials on the Poincaré dodecahedral three-manifold is obtained. The expansion in these polynomials of temperature fluctuations on the cosmic microwave background tests this manifold as a candidate for cosmic topology.
