Gravitational Waves from Warped Spacetime

چکیده
We argue that the RSI model can provide a strong signature in gravitational waves. This signal is a relic stochastic background generated during the cosmological phase transition from an AdS-Schwarschild phase to the RS1 geometry that should occur at a temperature in the TeV range. We estimate the amplitude of the signal in terms of the parameters of the potential stabilizing the radion and show that over much of the parameter region in which the phase transition completes, a signal should be detectable at the planned space interferometer, LISA.

Thin Film Helps Detect Gravitational Waves
I t’s only a slight exaggeration to say that a few layers of molecules helped make possible one of the most important physics observations of the past several decades. Those layers of metal oxideswhich barely add up to 2 μm in thicknesscoat the highly specialized mirrors that make up the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO. The coatings make LIGO’s mirrors exceptional...
متن کاملQuantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves in a curved spacetime is equivalent to the propagation of a subspace of electromagnetic states. We use this result to propose the use of entangled photons to emulate the evolu...
متن کاملEchoes from a Warped Dimension
The Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, based on a slice of warped 5D spacetime, was originally introduced to explain the apparent hierarchy between the scales of weak and gravitational interactions. Over the past decade, this model has been extended to provide a predictive theory of flavor, as well as to address various constraints from precision data. In this talk, we will present a brief review of t...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Inflation
Gravitational waves (GW) are tensor perturbations of the metric of curved spacetime that propagate. The metric g is a matrix (or differential 2-form, to be specific) that fully describes the 4-dimensional manifold of a spacetime in general relativity. The components of the full metric gμν are the sum of an unperturbed metric and the perturbation hμν , which varies on a smaller scale (separated ...

Thanks to the many other members and friends of the LISA science community who provided valuable input and suggestions. The New Science of Gravitational Waves Einstein's theory of spacetime and gravity, general relativity, predicts that motions of mass produce propagating vibrations that travel through spacetime at the speed of light. These gravita-tional waves (as the vibrations are called) ar...
