abstract

We propose a method to probe the equation of state of the early universe and its evolution, using the stochastic gravitational wave background from inflation. A small deviation from purely radiation dominated universe ($w= 1/3$) would be clearly imprinted on the gravitational wave spectrum $\Omega_{GW}(f)$ due to the nearly scale invariant nature of inflationary generated waves.

  1. Leptogenesis with sub-electroweak-scale reheating temperature

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Leptogenesis remains viable for reheating temperatures below sphaleron freeze-out in three perturbative monomial-inflaton scenarios, with blue-tilted primordial GWs as a potential probe.

  2. Impact of memory-burdened black holes on primordial gravitational waves in light of Pulsar Timing Array

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Memory-burdened primordial black holes can explain pulsar timing array data as diluted blue-tilted gravitational waves and leave a testable high-frequency signal.

  3. Gravitational Wave Signatures of Cosmological Stasis: A Unified Spectral Template

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Any constant-w stasis epoch imprints a closed-form IGWB template whose tilt α and amplitude step C² must lie on a single falsifiable consistency curve C²(α), resolvable by BBO/DECIGO.

  4. 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.

  5. 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...

  6. From WIMP to FIMP during reheating: collider vs non-collider probes for p-wave annihilation

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Collider experiments can strongly constrain p-wave-suppressed derivative operators and thereby limit reheating temperature, DM mass, and interaction scale needed to match observed DM abundance during reheating.

  7. Primordial Gravitational Waves as Complementary Probe of Dark Matter Indirect Detection

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper forecasts that future gravitational wave observatories could infer dark matter mass and annihilation cross-section from early matter-domination suppressions in the inflationary gravitational wave spectrum, c...

  8. Kination-like Era Driven by the Effective Inflaton/Higgs Potential

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Radiative corrections to the U(1)_X Higgs inflaton produce a post-inflationary stiff era that characteristically modulates the inflationary gravitational wave spectrum, connecting the signal to the Z' boson mass and g...

  9. Inflationary Gravitational Waves and Laboratory Searches as Complementary Probes of Right-handed Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A period of early matter domination by GeV-scale right-handed neutrinos would suppress inflationary gravitational waves, and future detectors could probe this effect in regions also accessible to laboratory searches f...
