abstract
We investigate the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) from cosmic domain walls (DWs) caused by quantum fluctuations of a light scalar field $\phi$ during inflation. Perturbations of $\phi$ remain almost constant after leaving the Hubble horizon. The probabilities of the two domains depend on the averaged value of $\phi$ at each large scale region, leading to large scale perturbations of DW energy density and large anisotropies in the SGWB. We find that the angular power spectrum is scale-invariant and at least of the order of $10^{-2}$, which is expected to be detected by future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. Since we have not detected primordial GWs yet, anisotropies of the SGWB could help us to verify the rationality of inflation and determine the energy scale of inflation.

Estimating the gravitational wave background anisotropy: a Bayesian approach boosted by cross-correlation angular power spectrum
A new likelihood function estimates GWB anisotropy angular power spectra directly from detector data, and cross-correlation with the CMB can make the quadrupole measurable with four years of LISA data.

Oscillations and parity violation in gravitational wave background from extra tensor modes
Linear mixing between metric and extra spin-2 tensor modes during inflation produces oscillatory and chiral gravitational wave backgrounds with features that future detectors could identify.
