The gravitational wave equations form a parametric resonance system during oscillatory reheating after inflation, when cast in terms of the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor. This is in direct analogy with preheating. For…

It has been known that gravitational waves (GWs) transfer energy to viscous matter through which they propagate, but the effect is too weak to be astrophysically significant. Using linearized perturbations about a Minkowski background, we…

Spacetime is considered to be everywhere Minkowski except at the location where a signal wave of energy interacts with the gravitational field. The conformal metric f[k(x-vt)]Nuv is suitably chosen to represent this interaction, where…
