The gauge problem arises in the second order gravitational waves due to the mode mixing. Here, we introduce the transverse-traceless (TT) gauge to cosmological backgrounds, and find that if we choose the TT gauge at first order, the second…
The aim of this paper is to show the gauge-invariance on the response of interferometers to gravitational waves (GWs). In this process, after a review of results on the Tranverse-Traceless (TT) gauge, where, in general, the theoretical…
The aims of this letter are two. First, to show the angular gauge-invariance on the response of interferometers to gravitational waves (GWs). In this process, after resuming for completeness results on the Transverse-Traceless (TT) gauge,…
At second-order, scalar perturbations can source traceless and transverse perturbations to the metric, called induced gravitational waves (IGW). The apparent gauge-dependence of the IGW obscures the interpretation of the stochastic…
We have recently derived a manifestly covariant evolution law, under the geometrical optics approximation of the vacuum Maxwell's equations, for the electric field along null geodesics in a general spacetime, relative to an arbitrary set of…
In this paper, we investigate gravitational waves beyond the linear approximation, focusing on second-order contributions sourced by linearized waves in the transverse-traceless (TT) gauge. A general spacetime metric is constructed, and…
Second-order tensor modes induced by nonlinear gravity are a key component of the cosmological background of gravitational waves. A detection of this background would allow us to probe the primordial power spectrum at otherwise inaccessible…
The investigation of the transverse effect of gravitational waves (GWs) could constitute a further tool to discriminate among several relativistic theories of gravity on the ground. After a review of the TT gauge, the transverse effect of…
This work introduces a geometrical method for analyzing transient gravitational waves recorded at interferometric observatories. This approach is intended to aid in assessing the performance and sensitivity of next-generation detector…
We study linear cosmological perturbations in the most general teleparallel gravity setting, where gravity is mediated by the torsion and nonmetricity of a flat connection alongside the metric. For a general linear perturbation of this…
Corresponding to the similarity between the Lorentz gauge $\partial_\mu A^\mu=0$ in electrodynamics and $g^{\mu\nu}\Gamma^\rho_{\mu\nu}=0$ in gravity, we show that the counterpart of the radiation gauge $\partial_iA^i=0$ is…
Gravitational waves (GWs) are direct probes of cosmological gravity, sensitive to space-time inhomogeneities along their propagation. The presence of massive objects breaks homogeneity and isotropy, allowing for new interactions between…
Gravitational waves (GWs) induced by scalar curvature fluctuations are an important source of the cosmological GW background and a crucial counterpart of the primordial black hole scenario. However, doubts have been cast on the…
The integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect describes how photons are gravitationally redshifted, producing anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background. We study the inverse problem and show that primordial gravitational perturbations, in…
A tensor-type cosmological perturbation, defined as a transverse and traceless spatial fluctuation, is often interpreted as the gravitational waves. While decoupled from the scalar-type perturbations in linear order, the tensor…
We study the propagation of gravitational waves carrying arbitrary information through isotropic cosmologies. The waves are modelled as small perturbations of the background Robertson-Walker geometry. The perfect fluid matter distribution…
Contrary to conformal transformations, disformal transformations can change the principal null directions of a spacetime geometry. Thus, depending on the frame a gravitational wave (GW) detector minimally couples to, the properties of GWs…
Somewhat surprisingly, in many of the widely used monographs and review articles the term Transverse-Traceless modes of linearized gravitational waves is used to denote two entirely different notions. These treatments generally begin with a…
Detection of gravitational waves (GW) opened new windows on fundamental physics and it would be natural to search how the role of extra dimensional effects can be traced to gravitational wave physics. In this article, we consider a toy…
A laser interferometric detector of gravitational waves is studied and a complete solution (to first order in the metric perturbation) of the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations with appropriate boundary conditions for the light beams is…
