Periodic redshift distribution of quasars associated with low — redshift galaxies

We applied power spectral analysis to the redshift distribution of the quasars associated with low-redshift galaxies. Periodicity is confirmed at a level of confidence >99%, with a period of Δln(1+z) = 0.206. This result is exactly the same as previously found for different quasar samples. The periodicity is not caused by any selection effect in the emission lines. The two phenomena, the periodicity in the redhsift distribution and the association of quasars with low-redhsift galaxies can both be rather well explained by a multiply-connected model of the universe.
