Recent searches for parity breaking in the galaxy four-point correlation function, as well as the prospects for greatly improved sensitivity to parity breaking in forthcoming surveys, motivate the search for physical mechanisms that could produce such a signal. Here we show that a parity-violating galaxy four-point correlation function may be induced by lensing by a chiral gravitational-wave background. We estimate the amplitude of a signal that would be detectable with a current galaxy survey, taking into account constraints to the primordial gravitational-wave-background amplitude. We find that this mechanism is unlikely to produce a signal large enough to be seen with a galaxy survey but note that it may come within reach with future 21cm observations.

  1. Testing parity with composite-field spectra of BOSS and DESI luminous red galaxies

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    No evidence for cosmological parity violation is found in the first kurto-spectrum analysis of BOSS DR12 and DESI DR1 luminous red galaxies.

  2. Measurement of Parity-Violating Modes of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Year 1 Luminous Red Galaxies' 4-Point Correlation Function

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DESI's first parity-violation search shows a strong auto-correlation signal that disappears when the sky is split into patches, pointing to underestimated mocks' variance rather than new physics.
