Abstract

We investigate the cosmological phase transition dynamics in a supersymmetric left-right symmetric model based on the gauge group SU(3)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)BLSU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L} that addresses the strong CP problem through extended parity symmetry and doublet-doublet splitting. We compute the finite temperature effective potential including one-loop Coleman-Weinberg corrections, thermal contributions, and daisy resummation to determine whether the SU(2)R×U(1)BLU(1)YSU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L} \to U(1)_Y symmetry breaking transition can produce observable gravitational waves. For phenomenologically viable parameters satisfying current LHC constraints, we find that the phase transition is strongly first-order with nucleation temperature Tn0.5vRT_n \sim 0.5 v_R, transition strength parameter α0.010.3\alpha \sim 0.01-0.3, and inverse duration β/H100\beta/H \sim 100. The resulting stochastic gravitational wave background peaks at frequencies f0.11f \sim 0.1-1 Hz with amplitude h2ΩGW10141012h^2\Omega_{GW} \sim 10^{-14}-10^{-12}. We find that there is a parameter region where the gravitational wave spectrum overlaps with DECIGO/BBO sensitivity curves, providing a potentially observable signature connecting the theoretical solution to the strong CP problem with gravitational wave experiments.
