1 Scientific papers by György Paál ( ) Some guidance to the list of papers (compiled by G. Paál) A. Earliest arguments (from years ) for large scale inhomogeneities reaching Abell's distance group 5 and z = 0.1. See items 5, 6, 10. B. The same anomalies interpreted later as possible consequences of evolution: items 11, 13, 15, 16. C. The first appearance (in 1970) and discussion (in 1971) of the idea that some periodicities of quasar redshifts may be due to space compactification: items 8, 9. D. Periodicities of galaxy redshifts as possible signs of compactification and cosmological acceleration: items 42, 43, 44, 45 (posthumous) E. Different versions of early inflation: items 23 35
