For a while now, I've been arguing that the flatness problem in classical cosmology is bogus, based on a misunderstanding. But don't take it from me. There are so many arguments against the existence of the flatness problem that I've written a 23-page review. Although obviously not common knowledge, many very well known cosmologists and relativists have argued, in the leading journals in the field, that the flatness problem is bogus, so now, as in the future, I need cite only my review and references therein.
I tried to be complete, but have since found another there-is-no-flatness-problem paper, by Christian Magnan, which might pre-date Cho & Kantowski. According to ADS, the Magnan paper has no citations. :-(
The file linked to below is the author's accepted manuscript (a technical term with a very specific meaning). According to EPJH policy, a preprint can be posted at any time on any webserver, but the AAM can be posted after acceptance on a personal website and, after the 12-month embargo, can be posted to
their employer's internal website; their insitutional and/or funder repositories.So it has now shown up at https://orbi.uliege.be and of course will remain here as well. That means that the only way to have it on arXiv would be as a preprint, but for several reasons I (used to) put stuff on arXiv only after acceptance, so this paper will never appear on arXiv. However, I've stopped submitting to arXiv anyway.
