Massive gravitational waves from f(R) theories of gravity: Potential detection with LISA

Salvatore Capozziello, Christian Corda, Maria Felicia De Laurentis

This letter is a generalization of previous results on gravitational waves (GWs) from f(R) theories of gravity. In some previous papers, particular f(R) theories have been lineariz…
