abstract
Early matter-dominated eras (EMDEs) are a natural feature arising in many models of the early universe and can generate a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) during the transition from an EMDE to the radiation-dominated universe required by the time of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. While there are calculations of the SGWB generated in the linear regime, no detailed study has been made of the nonlinear regime. We perform the first comprehensive calculation of GW production in the nonlinear regime, using a hybrid $N$-body and lattice simulation to study GW production from both a metastable matter species and the radiation produced in its decay. We find that nonlinearities significantly enhance GW production up to frequencies at least as large as the inverse light-crossing time of the largest halos that form prior to reheating. The resulting SGWB is within future observational reach for curvature perturbations as small as those probed in the cosmic microwave background, depending on the reheating temperature. Out-of-equilibrium dynamics could further boost the induced SGWB, while a fully relativistic gravitational treatment is required to resolve the spectrum at even higher frequencies.

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...

Primordial black hole induced gravitational waves in $f(R)$ gravity
In R^(1+ε) gravity, exponential growth of scalar perturbations during a PBH-driven early matter era enhances the induced gravitational wave signal, with Ω_GW ∝ f on large scales.

Gravitational wave signatures of primordial black hole accretion during early matter domination
PBHs that form in a radiation era and accrete during an early matter era could produce a two-peak GW background detectable by LISA or BBO for asteroid-mass PBHs as all of dark matter.

Gravitational wave signatures from reheating in Chern-Simons running-vacuum cosmology
Scalaron-induced gravitational waves in Chern-Simons running-vacuum cosmology have a universal f^6 high-frequency scaling, distinguishable from the f^7 scaling of general relativity, and may be detectable by future ob...

Probing Long-Range Forces Between Neutrinos with Cosmic Structures
Neutrino long-range forces stronger than gravity would make the cosmic neutrino background collapse into bound states, and existing matter power spectrum and reionization data now exclude a band of couplings for force...

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.
