for those who are not in the topic it is about the question why is l_p (which is the number of the multipole on which there is the first peak - so called acustic peak - in the angular power spectrum of CMB fluctuations) proportional to \Omega_tot^-1/2 (which is the unitless total density of the Universe) ?
Maybe Ruth Durrer's paper "The theory of CMB anisotropies" might help?
