Shear viscosity adds damping to primordial gravitational waves, producing an extra red tilt for constant viscosity-to-Hubble ratio and a k-dependent blue tilt from freeze-out in the electron-photon-baryon plasma with fractional difference of order 10^{-3}.

Freeze-out and spectral running of primordial gravitational waves in viscous cosmology
Shear viscosity adds damping to primordial gravitational waves, producing an extra red tilt for constant viscosity-to-Hubble ratio and a k-dependent blue tilt from freeze-out in the electron-photon-baryon plasma with fractional difference of order 10^{-3}.
