Measuring the modified gravitational waves propagation beyond general relativity from CMB observations
arXiv:2110.14913 · doi:10.3390/universe8070367
Abstract
In modified gravity theories, the gravitational waves propagation are presented in nonstandard ways. We consider a friction term different from GR and constrain the modified gravitational waves propagation from observations. The modified gravitational waves produce anisotropies and polarization which generate measurable tensor power spectra. We explore the impact of the friction term on the power spectrum of B-modes and the impact on the constraints on the other parameters (e.g., or ) when is allowed to vary in the Monte Carlo analyses from Planck+BK18 datasets. If we assume the result of the scalar perturbations is unchanged, the inflation consistency relation alters with the friction term. In the CDM++ model, the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the amplitude of tensor spectrum are influenced obviously.
