abstract
The exploration of the surrounding world and the universe is an important theme in the legacy of humankind. The detection of gravitational waves is adding a new dimension to this grand effort. What are the fundamental physical laws governing the dynamics of the universe? What is the fundamental composition of the universe? How has the universe evolved in the past and how will it evolve in the future? These are the basic questions that press for answers. The space-based gravitational wave detector TianQin will tune in to gravitational waves in the millihertz frequency range ($10^{-4} \sim 1$ Hz, to be specific), opening a new gravitational wave spectrum window to explore many of the previously hidden sectors of the universe. TianQin will discover many astrophysical systems, populating the universe at different redshifts: some will be of new types that have never been detected before, some will have very high signal-to-noise ratios, and some will have very high parameter estimation precision. The plethora of information collected will bring us to new fronts on which to search for the breaking points of general relativity, the possible violation of established physical laws, the signature of possible new gravitational physics and new fundamental fields, and to improve our knowledge on the expansion history of the universe. In this white paper, we highlight the advances that TianQin can bring to fundamental physics and cosmology.

A dipole pulsar timing array detects chiral nanohertz gravitational waves and extends PTA sensitivity into the microhertz regime.
BHL-type post-recombination accretion can raise late three-body PBH merger rates enough for TianQin detections at f~10^{-6} and for LVK limits to bound delayed virialization.
Hybrid inflation's waterfall tachyonic instability grows isocurvature modes that convert to curvature perturbations at the field-space turn, yielding a k^{3}-peaked spectrum with always-positive f_NL that enhances PBH formation.
A connected-cluster survival criterion in real-time lattice simulations yields false vacuum decay rates that match Hartree-resummed thermal benchmarks at high temperatures and converge with global-survival methods at low temperatures in the dilute regime.
Neural spline flows perform fast posterior inference on 11-dimensional millilensed GW parameters with accuracy comparable to dynesty for most quantities and a 3-day to 0.8-second speedup.
A magnetized Schwarzschild background shifts EMRI orbital dynamics and GW waveforms, with B~10^9 G producing ~1.3 rad dephasing over one year for a 10^6 M_sun system.
A model in which inflaton energy goes exclusively to a dark sector, delaying SM thermalization until a false-vacuum decay produces a GW background with present-day Omega_GW up to 3e-8.
Phenomenological late-time vacuum-tunneling models are fit to DESI DR2, supernova, and CMB data, allowing up to 50% vacuum-energy drop for z_t < 1 and a preferred z_t ~7 model that converts ~10% dark matter while easing cosmological tensions.
Bubble collisions during a first-order phase transition at the end of inflation can generate the observed dark matter abundance in a restricted region of parameter space via direct production and spectator decays.
For tachyonic models with ζ=A(φ²−σ²), the PBH abundance is exponentially set by the correlation ρ between field and radial gradient; narrow spectra drive ρ→−1 and suppress PBH formation without killing the induced GW signal.
High-quality axion models with N_DW=1 and dark matter abundance requirement restrict the gauge breaking scale to 1.6e11-1e16 GeV, yielding a band of gravitational wave signals from two-step phase transitions consistent with current observations.
A trans-dimensional MCMC pipeline recovers parameters of injected SGWB signals in Taiji simulations and reconstructs backgrounds with unknown spectral shapes.
A multi-parameter formalism is developed to describe asymmetric binaries in general matter distributions by perturbing around Schwarzschild and reducing metric and fluid perturbations to wave equations similar to the vacuum case.
EFTGR black-hole periodic orbits follow the (z,w,v) taxonomy and emit zoom-whirl waveforms whose phase, not amplitude, is sensitive to the EFTGR coupling ϵ1.
Simulations show TianQin and LISA can reconstruct the dimension-six model parameter Λ to sub-percent statistical precision for strong signals using Fisher, Bayesian sampling, and machine learning on data with noise and foregrounds.
The CosmoVerse White Paper compiles observational tensions in cosmology and maps strategies using improved systematics checks and tests of fundamental physics to resolve them.
