Gravitational-wave (GW) detectors can contribute to the measurement of cosmological parameters and to testing the dark-energy sector of alternatives to $Lambda$CDM, by using standard sirens. In this paper we focus on binary neutron stars with a counterpart detected through a gamma-ray burst (GRB), both at a second-generation network made by advanced LIGO+advanced Virgo+LIGO India+Kagra, and at third-generation (3G) detectors, discussing in particular the cases of a single Einstein Telescope (ET), and of a network of ET plus two Cosmic Explorer (CE). We construct mock catalogs of standard sirens, using different scenarios for the local merger rate and for the detection of the electromagnetic counterpart. For 3G detectors we estimate the coincidences with a GRB detector with the characteristics of the proposed THESEUS mission. We discuss how these standard sirens with a GRB counterpart can improve the determination of cosmological parameters (and particularly of $H_0$) in $Lambda$CDM, and we then study how to extract information on dark energy, considering both a non-trivial dark energy equation of state and modified GW propagation. We find that a 2G detector network can already reach, over several years of data taking, an interesting sensitivity to modified GW propagation, while a single ET detector would have a remarkable potential for discovery. We also find that, to fully exploit the potential of a ET+CE+CE network, it is necessary a much stronger program of search for electromagnetic counterparts (or else to resort to statistical methods for standard sirens), and furthermore gravitational lensing can become a limiting factor.

We study the decay of gravitational waves into dark energy fluctuations $pi$, through the processes $gamma to pipi$ and $gamma to gamma pi$, made possible by the spontaneous breaking of Lorentz invariance. Within the EFT of Dark Energy (or Horndeski/
beyond Horndeski theories) the first process is large for the operator $frac12 tilde m_4^2(t) , delta g^{00}, left( {}^{(3)}! R + delta K_mu^ u delta K^mu_ u -delta K^2 right)$, so that the recent observations force $tilde m_4 =0$ (or equivalently $alpha_{rm H}=0$). This constraint, together with the requirement that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, rules out all quartic and quintic GLPV theories. Additionally, we study how the same couplings affect the propagation of gravitons at loop order. The operator proportional to $tilde m_4^2$ generates a calculable, non-Lorentz invariant higher-derivative correction to the graviton propagation. The modification of the dispersion relation provides a bound on $tilde m_4^2$ comparable to the one of the decay. Conversely, operators up to cubic Horndeski do not generate sizeable higher-derivative corrections.
We present a detailed study of the methodology for correlating `dark sirens (compact binaries coalescences without electromagnetic counterpart) with galaxy catalogs. We propose several improvements on the current state of the art, and we apply them t
o the GWTC-2 catalog of LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave (GW) detections, and the GLADE galaxy catalog, performing a detailed study of several sources of systematic errors that, with the expected increase in statistics, will eventually become the dominant limitation. We provide a measurement of $H_0$ from dark sirens alone, finding as the best result $H_0=67.3^{+27.6}_{-17.9},,{rm km}, {rm s}^{-1}, {rm Mpc}^{-1}$ ($68%$ c.l.) which is, currently, the most stringent constraint obtained using only dark sirens. Combining dark sirens with the counterpart for GW170817 we find $H_0= 72.2^{+13.9}_{-7.5} ,{rm km}, {rm s}^{-1}, {rm Mpc}^{-1}$. We also study modified GW propagation, which is a smoking gun of dark energy and modifications of gravity at cosmological scales, and we show that current observations of dark sirens already start to provide interesting limits. From dark sirens alone, our best result for the parameter $Xi_0$ that measures deviations from GR (with $Xi_0=1$ in GR) is $Xi_0=2.1^{+3.2}_{-1.2}$. We finally discuss limits on modified GW propagation under the tentative identification of the flare ZTF19abanrhr as the electromagnetic counterpart of the binary black hole coalescence GW190521, in which case our most stringent result is $Xi_0=1.8^{+0.9}_{-0.6}$. We release the publicly available code $tt{DarkSirensStat}$, which is available under open source license at url{https://github.com/CosmoStatGW/DarkSirensStat}.
Recent measurements of the parameters of the Concordance Cosmology Model ($Lambda$CDM) done in the low-redshift Universe with Supernovae Ia/Cepheids, and in the distant Universe done with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) imply different values for t
he Hubble constant (67.4 $pm$ 0.5 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$ from Planck vs 74.03 $pm$ 1.42 km s$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-1}$, Riess et al. 2019). This Hubble constant tension implies that either the systematic errors are underestimated, or the $Lambda$CDM does not represent well the observed expansion of the Universe. Since quasars - active galactic nuclei - can be observed in the nearby Universe up to redshift z $sim$ 7.5, they are suitable to estimate the cosmological properties in a large redshift range. Our group develops two methods based on the observations of quasars in the late Universe up to redshift z$sim $4.5, with the objective to determine the expansion rate of the Universe. These methods do not yet provide an independent measurement of the Hubble constant since they do not have firm absolute calibration but they allow to test the $Lambda$CDM model, and so far no departures from this model were found.
We discuss a modified gravity model which fits cosmological observations at a level statistically indistinguishable from $Lambda$CDM and at the same time predicts very large deviations from General Relativity (GR) in the propagation of gravitational
waves (GWs) across cosmological distances. The model is a variant of the RT nonlocal model proposed and developed by our group, with initial conditions set during inflation, and predicts a GW luminosity distance that, at the redshifts accessible to LISA or to a third-generation GW detector such as the Einstein Telescope (ET), can differ from that in GR by as much as $60%$. An effect of this size could be detected with just a single standard siren with counterpart by LISA or ET. At the redshifts accessible to a LIGO/Virgo/Kagra network at target sensitivity the effect is smaller but still potentially detectable. Indeed, for the recently announced LIGO/Virgo NS-BH candidate S190814bv, the RT model predicts that, given the measured GW luminosity distance, the actual luminosity distance, and the redshift of an electromagnetic counterpart, would be smaller by as much as $7%$ with respect to the value inferred from $Lambda$CDM.
In this paper, we systematically study gravitational waves (GWs) produced by remote compact astrophysical sources. To describe such GWs properly, we introduce three scales, $lambda, ; L_c$ and $L$, denoting, respectively, the typical wavelength of GW
s, the scale of the cosmological perturbations, and the size of the observable universe. For GWs to be detected by the current and foreseeable detectors, the condition $lambda ll L_c ll L$ holds, and such GWs can be well approximated as high-frequency GWs. In order for the backreaction of the GWs to the background to be negligible, we must assume that $left|h_{mu u}right| ll 1$, in addition to the condition $epsilon ll 1$, which are also the conditions for the linearized Einstein field equations for $h_{mu u}$ to be valid, where $g_{mu u} = gamma_{mu u} + epsilon h_{mu u}$, and $gamma_{mu u}$ denotes the background. To simplify the field equations, we show that the spatial, traceless, and Lorentz gauge conditions can be imposed simultaneously, even when the background is not vacuum, as long as the high-frequency GW approximation is valid. However, to develop the formulas that can be applicable to as many cases as possible, we first write down explicitly the linearized Einstein field equations by imposing only the spatial gauge. Applying the general formulas together with the geometrical optics approximation to such GWs, we find that they still move along null geodesics and its polarization bi-vector is parallel-transported, even when both the cosmological scalar and tensor perturbations are present. In addition, we also calculate the gravitational integrated Sachs-Wolfe effects, whereby the dependences of the amplitude, phase and luminosity distance of the GWs on these two kinds of perturbations are read out explicitly.
