Gravitational-wave memory is a low-frequency, non-oscillatory signal that provides a promising probe of strong-field gravity. We present the first computation of memory from full inspiral--merger--ringdown waveforms in a theory beyond GR,…

We study the braneworld theory constructed by multi scalar fields. The model contains a smooth and infinitely large extra dimension, allowing the background fields propagating in it. We give a de Sitter solution for the four-dimensional…

We show that the stochastic background of gravitational wave memory of growing type leads to a fractional Brownian motion increasing at the order of $t^{H}$ for large $t$ where $\frac{1}{2} < H <1$. This beats the scaling law of Brownian…

We report an analytical example of the gravitational wave memory effect in exact plane wave spacetimes. A square pulse profile is chosen which gives rise to a curved wave region sandwiched between two flat Minkowski spacetimes. Working in…

Memory of gravitational waves in asymptotically-flat spacetimes that are solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations is of purely electric parity, no magnetic parity memory can occur. We show this by investigating what happens for various…

The nonlinear memory effect is a slowly-growing, non-oscillatory contribution to the gravitational-wave amplitude. It originates from gravitational waves that are sourced by the previously emitted waves. In an ideal gravitational-wave…

We revisit the issue of memory effects, i.e. effects giving rise to a net cumulative change of the configuration of test particles, using a toy model describing the emission of radiation by a compact source and focusing on the scalar, hence…

Gravitational wave memory is a nonoscillatory correction to the gravitational wave strain predicted by general relativity, which has yet to be detected. Within general relativity, its dominant component, known as the null memory, can be…

Nonlinear gravitational wave memory is a surprise of theoretical physics. Whereas it is understood that a gravitational wave induces oscillatory squeezing and stretching motion in a collection of freely-falling test masses, it is unexpected…
