Reconciling GW170817 and GW190814 with a Nonmonotonic Sound-Speed Equation of State
arXiv:2605.30369
Abstract
We show that the GW170817-GW190814 tension can be reconciled within General Relativity by a structured causal EoS basin found with a Constrained Evolutionary TOV Discovery pipeline (CETD). The basin contains ~1.4x10^4 unique EoS with M_max = 2.3-2.8 M_sun, R_1.4 = 11.97-12.29 km, Lambda_1.4 <= 580, and double-peaked sound speeds reaching c_s^2/c^2 = 0.86-0.99.
