A nontrivial topology of the spatial section of the universe is an observable, which can be probed for all locally homogeneous and isotropic universes, without any assumption on the cosmological density parameters. We discuss how one can use this observable to set constraints on the density parameters of the Universe by using a specific spatial topology along with type Ia supenovae and X-ray gas mass fraction data sets.
