Gauge Independence of Induced Gravitational Waves

Abstract

We study gauge (in)dependence of the gravitational waves (GWs) induced from curvature perturbations. For the GWs produced in a radiation-dominated era, we find that the observable (late-time) GWs in the TT gauge and in the Newtonian gauge are the same in contrast to a claim in the literature. We also mention the interpretation of the gauge dependence of the tensor perturbations which appears in the context of the induced GWs.
