Gravitational wave cosmology
Ligong Bian, Rong-Gen Cai, Yu-Qi Dong +18
Gravitational waves (GWs) originating from cosmological sources offer direct insights into the physics of the primordial Universe, the fundamental nature of gravity, and the cosmic…
GW231123 Mass Gap Event and the Primordial Black Hole Scenario
Chen Yuan, Zu-Cheng Chen, Lang Liu
We investigate the possibility that the recently reported GW231123 event, with component masses , and a local merger ra…
On the Gauge Invariance of Secondary Gravitational Waves
Chen Yuan, Yizhou Lu, Zu-Cheng Chen +1
Second-order tensor perturbations induced by primordial fluctuations play a crucial role in probing small-scale physics, but gauge dependence of their energy density has remained a…
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…
