Scientific paper

A critical analysis is presented of the analysis by Barrow et al. (1983) of the large-scale temperature variation distribution of the microwave background in the open universe, and Barrow et al. reply. The conclusion by Barrow et al. concerning the relationship between inhomogeneous and the most general homogeneous anisotropic cosmologies is criticized. It is argued that, in the most general case, the spotty structure of the large-scale temperature variation in open universes is described by a Fourier integral and cannot, in principle, be reduced to an expansion in homogeneous Bianchi models as in Barrow et al. The latter answer these arguments and point out a further unusual feature that appears in the temperature distribution of the most general flat and open cosmological models.
