abstract

We provide a simple transfer function that determines the effect of an early matter dominated era on the gravitational wave background and show that a large class of compactifications of superstring theory might be tested by observations of the gravitational wave background from inflation. For large enough reheating temperatures $> 10^9 \GeV$ the test applies to all models containing at least one scalar with mass $< 10^{12}\GeV$ that acquires a large initial oscillation amplitude after inflation and has only gravitational interaction strength, i.e., a field with the typical properties of a modulus.

  1. Probing low-reheating scenarios with minimal freeze-in dark matter

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the minimal freeze-in dark photon model, low-temperature reheating pushes the required portal coupling to larger values, and the exact curve depends on the equation of state during reheating, widening the reach of ...

  2. High Frequency Spectrum of Primordial Gravitational Waves

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    High-frequency primordial gravitational waves extend to higher frequencies due to post-inflation inflaton dynamics, and their detailed spectrum shape can distinguish inflation models.

  3. Primordial Gravitational Waves from Phase Transitions during Reheating

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Phase transitions happening during reheating can produce gravitational-wave signals that are delayed, prolonged, and shifted in amplitude and frequency by orders of magnitude compared with standard cosmology.

  4. Leptogenesis in Brane-modified cosmology: Signatures in primordial gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    With one or two stiff kination epochs before radiation domination, vanilla leptogenesis can produce the observed baryon asymmetry while imprinting a blue-tilted gravitational-wave spectrum, leaving a small DECIGO-visi...
