Alternative LISA-TAIJI networks: polarization separation of the stochastic gravitational wave background
Gang Wang, Lang Liu
Stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds (SGWBs) provide a unique opportunity to probe both unresolved astrophysical populations and fundamental physics in the early Universe. Fut…
Scalar-induced gravitational waves from a box-shaped curvature power spectrum
Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu
We compute the stochastic background of gravitational waves (GWs) produced at second order in cosmological perturbation theory by a primordial curvature power spectrum that is flat…
Gauge Dependence of Gravitational Waves Induced by Primordial Isocurvature Fluctuations
Chen Yuan, Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu
Primordial isocurvature perturbations, which can arise from various sources in the early Universe, have the potential to leave observable imprints on the gravitational-wave backgro…
Constraints on Inflation with Null Energy Condition Violation from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo's First Three Observing Runs
Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu
The null energy condition (NEC) is a cornerstone of general relativity, and its violation could leave observable imprints in the cosmic gravitational wave spectrum. Theoretical mod…
Detecting a Gravitational-Wave Background from Inflation with Null Energy Condition Violation: Prospects for Taiji
Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu
The null energy condition (NEC) is a fundamental principle in general relativity, and its violation could leave discernible signatures in gravitational waves (GWs). A violation of…
GW230529_181500: A Potential Primordial Binary Black Hole Merger in the Mass Gap
Qing-Guo Huang, Chen Yuan, Zu-Cheng Chen +1
During the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detector network, the LIGO Livingston observatory detected a coalescing compact binary, GW230529_181500, with component mass…
Probing the speed of scalar-induced gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays
Zu-Cheng Chen, Jun Li, Lang Liu +1
Recently, several regional pulsar timing array collaborations, including CPTA, EPTA, PPTA, and NANOGrav, have individually reported compelling evidence for a stochastic signal at n…
