We compute the abundance of cosmological gravitational waves produced during the evolution of an ultralight vector (spin-1) dark matter field. A homogeneous background vector field breaks spatial isotropy, requiring a Bianchi I geometry and…

The possible existence of an exponentially large number of vacua in string theory behooves one to consider possibilities beyond our traditional notions of naturalness. Such an approach to electroweak physics was recently used in "Split…
