We present a systematic and robust approach to nonlinear gravitational perturbations of vacuum spacetimes. This approach provides a basis for a theory of nonlinear gravitational waves. In particular, we show that the system of perturbative…

We peform a study of gravitational waves emitted by inspiraling black holes in the context of quadratic gravity. By linearizing the field equations around a flat background, we demonstrate that all degrees of freedom satisfy wave-like…

The spontaneous scalarization during the stellar core collapse in the massive scalar-tensor theories of gravity introduces extra polarizations (on top of the plus and cross modes) in gravitational waves, whose amplitudes are determined by…

In dark-energy models where a scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the spacetime geometry, gravitational waves are expected to be supplemented with a scalar mode. Such scalar waves may interact with the standard tensor waves, thereby…

A general scalar-tensor theory of gravity carries a conserved current for a trace free minimally coupled scalar field, under the condition that the potential $V(\phi)$ of the nonminimally coupled scalar field is proportional to the square…

Gravitational waves are considered as metric perturbations about a curved background metric, rather than the flat Minkowski metric since several situations of physical interest can be discussed by this generalization. In this case, when the…

It is well known that two types of gravitational wave memory exist in general relativity (GR): the linear memory and the non-linear, or Christodoulou memory. These effects, especially the latter, depend on the specific form of Einstein…

A modified gravitational action is considered which involves the quantity $F_{\mu\nu}=\partial_{\mu}\Gamma_{\nu}-\partial_{\nu}\Gamma_{\mu}$, where $\Gamma_{\mu}=\Gamma^{\alpha}_{\mu\alpha}$. Since $\Gamma_{\mu}$ transforms like a U(1)…
