We study the primordial spectra and the gravitational-wave background (GWB) of three models of semi-classical, quantum or string gravity where the big bang is replaced by a bounce and the primordial tensor spectrum is blue: ekpyrotic universe with fast-rolling Galileons, string-gas cosmology with Atick-Witten conjecture and pre-big-bang cosmology. We find that the ekpyrotic scenario with Galileons does not produce a GWB amplitude detectable by present or third-generation interferometers, while the Atick-Witten-based string-gas model is ruled out in its present form for violating the big-bang-nucleosynthesis bound, contrary to the original string-gas scenario. In contrast, the GWB of the pre-big-bang scenario falls within the sensitivity window of both LISA and Einstein Telescope, where it takes the form of a single or a broken power law depending on the choice of parameters. The latter will be tightly constrained by both detectors.

  1. Hawking area law in quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Exact Hawking area law from black hole mergers restricts quantum gravity to singular Ricci-flat or specific regular black holes in Stelle and nonlocal theories, derives the standard entropy-area law, and realizes Barr...

  2. Hawking area law in quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    If Hawking's area law is taken as exact, nonlocal and Stelle quantum-gravity theories are forced to drop R^2 and (Riemann)^2 terms (or use singular Ricci-flat black holes), and the standard entropy-area law follows as...

  3. Freeze-out and spectral running of primordial gravitational waves in viscous cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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 ...

  4. LISA as a probe of pre-big-bang physics: a nested sampling analysis

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Nested sampling analysis indicates LISA could constrain H1, m, sigma_i and beta in the pre-big-bang model to relative uncertainties of about 18 percent under favorable conditions when including foregrounds.
