abstract
Recently, pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments have provided compelling evidence for the existence of the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). In this work, we demonstrated that cosmic string loops generated from cosmic global strings offer a viable explanation for the observed nanohertz SGWB data, requiring a cosmic string tension parameter of $\log(G\mu) \sim -12$ and a loop number density of $\log N \sim 4$. Additionally, we revisited the impact of cosmic string loops on the abundance of massive galaxies at high redshifts. However, our analysis revealed challenges in identifying a consistent parameter space that can concurrently explain both the SGWB data and observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. This indicates the necessity for either extending the existing model employed in this research or acknowledging distinct physical origins for these two phenomena.

From new physics to a running power law and back again: Minimal refitting techniques for the reconstruction of the gravitational-wave background signal in pulsar timing array data
A new refitting technique maps any gravitational-wave background spectrum onto a running-power-law reference model via sensitivity-weighted chi-squared minimization, and uses the pullback of the reference posterior to...

Gravitational wave and dark matter from Axion-Higgs string
Lattice simulations show axion and axion-Higgs strings produce gravitational waves too weak for current pulsar timing arrays once dark matter overproduction is taken into account.

NANOGrav 15-year gravitational-wave signals from binary supermassive black-holes seeded by primordial black holes, and implications for the origins of Little Red Dots
A PBH abundance of 10^-14–10^-12 of CDM, with seed masses 1–10^3 M_sun, is fitted to the NANOGrav 15-year background via SMBH mergers, consistent with 21-cm limits.

Pre-Big-Bang Cosmology Cannot Explain NANOGrav 15-year Signal
Pre-Big Bang string cosmology cannot explain the NANOGrav 15-year signal; a power-law spectrum is preferred by a Bayes factor of about 468.
