Title: Notions of proximity to spatial homogeneity and isotropy
Abstract: Abstract The cosmological principle states that the universe is spatially homogeneous and isotropic. However, it is clear that this assumption is not exactly satisfied. As a consequence, it is of interest to quantify the distance to spatial homogeneity and isotropy. We illustrate the risks associated with approaching this topic in too naive a way by discussing unexpected pathological examples. In particular we discuss the EGS theorem.
