Cosmological solitonic objects such as monopoles, cosmic strings, domain walls, oscillons and Q-balls often appear in theories of the early Universe. We demonstrate that such scenarios are generically accompanied by a novel production source of gravitational waves stemming from soliton isocurvature perturbations. The resulting induced universal gravitational waves (UGWs) reside at lower frequencies compared to gravitational waves typically associated with soliton formation. We show that UGWs from axion-like particle (ALP) oscillons, originating from ALP misalignment, extend the frequency range of produced gravitational waves by more than two orders of magnitude regardless of the ALP mass and decay constant and can be observable in upcoming gravitational wave experiments. UGWs open a new route for gravitational wave signatures in broad classes of cosmological theories.

Constraining the inflaton potential with gravitational waves from oscillons
The rapid decay of an oscillon-dominated post-inflation phase produces induced gravitational waves strong enough that the BBN/CMB bound on relativistic species excludes significant regions of inflaton mass–coupling pa...

Ephemeral Oscillons in Scalar-Tensor Theories: The Higgs-like case
In a Higgs-like Einstein-Cartan inflation model, oscillons formed after inflation are short-lived and their decay drives radiation domination within about four e-folds.

Isotropic background and anisotropies of gravitational waves induced by cosmological soliton isocurvature perturbations
Soliton isocurvature perturbations produce gravitational waves whose sky anisotropies are enhanced by non-Gaussianity, offering a new probe of the early universe.

Enhancement of small-scale induced gravitational waves from the soliton/oscillon domination
Soliton or oscillon domination generates detectable induced gravitational waves, with spectra that constrain the lumps' lifetime, abundance, and separation.
