Just to add :
Why would the spacetime of the universe being hyperbolic rule out the big bang? Isn't a hyperbolic spacetime predicted by most big bang cosmologies for an Omega of less than 1?
Also why are you using the term cosmological constant and curvature interchangably? The two are not the same. Your cosmological constant is not the same as the thing commonly given that name so its liable to cause confusion.
