spectrum of the primordial gravitational waves background. S. Weinberg has also produced …

Cosmological background interpretation of pulsar timing array data

DG Figueroa, M Pieroni, A Ricciardone… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We discuss the interpretation of the detected signal by pulsar timing array (PTA)
observations as a gravitational wave background of cosmological origin. We combine …

Inflation, the Hubble tension, and early dark energy: An alternative overview

W Giarè - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
I review and discuss the possible implications for inflation resulting from considering new
physics in light of the Hubble tension. My study is motivated by a simple argument that the …

cosmological phenomena including early Universe cosmology. Recently, the NANOGrav …

Gravitational wave production right after a primordial black hole evaporation

K Inomata, M Kawasaki, K Mukaida, T Terada… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We discuss the footprint of evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) on stochastic

Enhancement of gravitational waves induced by scalar perturbations due to a sudden transition from an early matter era to the radiation era

K Inomata, K Kohri, T Nakama, T Terada - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We study gravitational waves induced from the primordial scalar perturbations at second
order around the reheating of the Universe. We consider reheating scenarios in which a …
