We show that a possible origin for such a contribution is that the universe has a toroidal topology with "wound" scalar fields around its cycles.11 pages, 1figureAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - TheoryThe Energy Density of "Wound" Fields in a Toroidal Universetext
