Topology of the Universe from Planck CMB data

Cosmic Microwave Background provides us data on the structure of our Universe from the largest observable distances. In this talk I will discuss what limits are placed by the recent Planck data on the possibility that our Universe has complex multi-connected space, and how this analysis is performed.
