Universal Suppression of Gravitational Waves from Black Hole Evaporation Dynamics
Xin-Chen He, Xiao-Han Ma, Misao Sasaki +1
Evaporating black holes can leave distinct imprints on gravitational wave (GW) backgrounds. We show that black hole populations with finite width mass distributions exhibit a unive…
Imprints of gravitational-wave polarizations on projected tidal tensor in three dimensions
Yusuke Mikura, Teppei Okumura, Misao Sasaki
Gravitational waves (GWs) distort galaxy shapes through the tidal effect, offering a novel avenue to probe the nature of gravity. In this paper, we investigate how extra GW polariz…
Unveiling Primordial Black Hole Relics Through Induced Gravitational Waves
Misao Sasaki, Jianing Wang
Black hole relics are of significant interest in cosmology and theoretical physics. In this work, we consider tiny primordial black holes (PBHs) ( $M_{\text {PBH }} \lesssim 10^7 \…
When Tiny Halos Stir Spacetime: Gravitational Waves from Fifth-Force Mergers
Xinpeng Wang, Yifan Lu, Zachary S. C. Picker +2
Dark matter fermions interacting via attractive fifth forces mediated by a light mediator can form dark matter halos in the very early universe. We show that bound systems composed…
Dip and non-linearity in the curvature perturbation from inflation with a transient non-slow-roll stage
Tomohiro Fujita, Ryodai Kawaguchi, Misao Sasaki +1
We consider models of inflation that contain a transient non-slow-roll stage and investigate the conditions under which a dip appears in the power spectrum of the curvature perturb…
Oscillations and parity violation in gravitational wave background from extra tensor modes
Jaume Garriga, Mohammad Ali Gorji, Fazlollah Hajkarim +1
Spectator fields which provide additional tensor degrees of freedom, on top of the standard metric tensor perturbations, can produce significant amounts of gravitational waves (GWs…
