Abstract
We derive a kinetic Boltzmann equation characterizing the long-term statistical behavior of the turbulent dynamics of nonlinear interacting gravitational wave multipoles in Minkowski spacetime and show that, injecting a large number of gravitons with large multipoles drives the system toward an inverse multipole cascade at large times.
