Cosmological waveguides for gravitational waves

Abstract: We study the linearized equations describing the propagation of gravitational waves through dust. In the leading order of the WKB approximation, dust behaves as a non-dispersive, non-dissipative medium. Taking advantage of these features, we explore the possibility that a gravitational wave from a distant source gets trapped by the gravitational field of a long filament of galaxies of the kind seen in the large scale structure of the Universe. Such a waveguiding effect may lead to a huge magnification of the r… Show more

“…The features of wave dynamics make the fraction of lensed events larger than that optics approximation has ever predicted. This fact motivated many authors to study lensing effects on gravitational waves in the past decade [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. As noted in [4], the lensing effect is very important for the space-based gravitational wave detector LISA [17].…”

“…The results, however, have shown to be highly controversial, either by finding no evidence for ISB/SNR or favoring the phenomenon. Examples of the former were obtained in the context of methods like the large-N expansion [7], Gaussian effective potential [8], chiral Lagrangian technique [9] and Monte Carlo simulations on the lattice [10]. Some applications which find evidence for ISB/SNR are Refs.…”

“…Knowledge of this subject matter was understandable has its knowledge may provide clues on the evolution of the early universe. Other articles addressed different lensing topics such as the one published by G. Bimonte et al on cosmological waveguides for GWs [178]. There they explore the possibility that a gravitational wave from a distant source gets trapped by the gravitational field of a long filament of galaxies of the kind seen in the large-scale structure of the Universe.…”
