The power-law parametrization for the energy density spectrum of gravitational wave (GW) background is a useful tool to study its physics and origin. While scalar induced secondary gravitational waves (SIGWs) from some particular models fit the signal detected by NANOGrav, Parkers Pulsar Timing Array, European Pulsar Timing Array, and Chinese Pulsar Timing Array collaborations better than GWs from supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), we test the consistency of the data with the infrared part of SIGWs which is somewhat independent of models. Through Bayesian analysis, we show that the infrared parts of SIGWs fit the data better than GW background from SMBHBs. The results give tentative evidence for SIGWs.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The work shows that free-streaming dark radiation isocurvature produces a qualitatively different gravitational wave spectrum than cold dark matter isocurvature and derives constraints on isocurvature power spectra ar...

  2. Circularly polarized gravitational waves from parity-violating scalar-tensor theory

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the "Qi-Xiu" parity-violating scalar-tensor theory, the L3 and L4 interactions leave linear gravitational-wave propagation GR-like but still generate circularly polarized scalar-induced gravitational waves.

  3. Isotropy, anisotropies and non-Gaussianity in the scalar-induced gravitational-wave background: diagrammatic approach for primordial non-Gaussianity up to arbitrary order

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Extends diagrammatic approach for scalar-induced gravitational waves to arbitrary-order local PNG, deriving semi-analytic spectra for energy density, anisotropies, bispectrum and trispectrum up to quartic terms.

  4. Scalar-induced gravitational waves from inflation with symmetry breaking

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Late gauge-field excitation in charged symmetry-breaking inflation pushes enhanced SIGWs into the GHz band, where longitudinal and charge-mixing parameters reshape the spectrum in opposite, distinguishable ways.

  5. Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability allows narrow curvature spectra to exponentially suppress primordial black hole overproduction via correlation coefficient ρ approaching -1 while retaining s...

  6. Purely quadratic non-Gaussianity from tachyonic instability: Primordial black holes and scalar-induced gravitational waves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
