Scalar induced gravitational waves in metric teleparallel gravity with the Nieh-Yan term
Abstract
We investigate the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) in metric teleparallel gravity with the Nieh-Yan (NY) term, which results in parity violation during the radiation-dominated era. By solving the equations of motion of linear scalar perturbations from both the metric and the tetrad fields, we obtain the corresponding analytic expressions. Then, we calculate the SIGWs in metric teleparallel gravity with the NY term and evaluate the energy density of SIGWs with a monochromatic power spectrum numerically. We find that the spectrum of the energy density of SIGWs in metric teleparallel gravity with the NY term is significantly different from that in general relativity (GR), which makes metric teleparallel gravity distinguishable from GR.
