String length is a fundamental parameter in string theory. A strategy on how to determine it through experiments is proposed. Our work focuses on the stochastic gravitational waves from string gas cosmology. With the help of the Lambert W function, we find the non-Hagedorn phase is ruled out by the B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background. The spectrum from the Hagedorn phase with a logarithmic term is found to be unique. We propose a strategy on how to constrain the string length through stochastic gravitational waves. Considering the sensitivities of the current and the upcoming detectors, the string length is found to be lower than 7 $sim$ orders of the Planck scale.
Among all cosmological quantum-gravity or quantum-gravity-inspired scenarios, only very few predict a blue-tilted primordial tensor spectrum. We explore five of them and check whether they can generate a stochastic gravitational-wave background detec
LIGO and Virgo have initiated the era of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy; but in order to fully explore GW frequency spectrum, we must turn our attention to innovative techniques for GW detection. One such approach is to use binary systems as dynam
This is a summary of presentations delivered at the OC1 parallel session Primordial Gravitational Waves and the CMB of the 12th Marcel Grossmann meeting in Paris, July 2009. The reports and discussions demonstrated significant progress that was achie
We point out that the observed time delay between the detection of the signal at the Hanford and Livingston LIGO sites from the gravitational wave event GW150914 places an upper bound on the speed of propagation of gravitational waves, $c_{gw}lesssim
The formation of primordial black hole (PBH) dark matter and the generation of scalar induced secondary gravitational waves (SIGWs) have been studied in the generic no-scale supergravity inflationary models. By adding an exponential term to the Kahle
