General metric theories in a four-dimensional spacetime allow at most six polarization states (two spin-0, two spin-1 and two spin-2) of gravitational waves (GWs). If a sky location of a GW source with the electromagnetic counterpart satisfies a single equation that we propose in this paper, both the spin-1 modes and spin-2 ones can be eliminated from a certain combination of strain outputs at four ground-based GW interferometers (e.g. a network of aLIGO-Hanford, aLIGO-Livingston, Virgo and KAGRA), where this equation describes curves on the celestial sphere. This means that, if a GW source is found in the curve (or its neighborhood practically), a direct test of scalar (spin-0) modes separately from the other (vector and tensor) modes become possible in principle. The possibility of such a direct test is thus higher than an earlier expectation (Hagihara et al. PRD, 100, 064010, 2019), in which they argued that the vector modes could not be completely eliminated. We discuss also that adding the planned LIGO-India detector as a fifth detector will increase the feasibility of scalar polarization tests.

The direct detection of gravitational waves now provides a new channel of testing gravity theories. Despite that the parametrized post-Einsteinian framework is a powerful tool to quantitatively investigate effects of modification of gravity theory, t
he gravitational waveform in this framework is still extendable. One of such extensions is to take into account the gradual activation of dipole radiation due to massive fields, which are still only very weakly constrained if their mass $m$ is greater than $10^{-16}$ eV from pulsar observations. Ground-based gravitational-wave detectors, LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA, are sensitive to this activation in the mass range, $10^{-14}$ eV $lesssim m lesssim 10^{-13}$ eV. Hence, we discuss a dedicated test for dipole radiation due to a massive field using the LIGO-Virgo collaborations open data. In addition, assuming Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet (EdGB) type coupling, we combine the results of the analysis of the binary black hole events to obtain the 90% confidence level constraints on the coupling parameter $alpha_{rm EdGB}$ as $sqrt{alpha_{rm EdGB}} lesssim 2.47$ km for any mass less than $6 times 10^{-14}$ eV for the first time, including $sqrt{alpha_{rm EdGB}} lesssim 1.85$ km in the massless limit.
Gravitational waves emitted by black hole binary inspiral and mergers enable unprecedented strong-field tests of gravity, requiring accurate theoretical modelling of the expected signals in extensions of General Relativity. In this paper we model the
gravitational wave emission of inspiraling binaries in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity theories. Going beyond the weak-coupling approximation, we derive the gravitational waveform to first post-Newtonian order beyond the quadrupole approximation and calculate new contributions from nonlinear curvature terms. We quantify the effect of these terms and provide ready-to-implement gravitational wave and scalar waveforms as well as the Fourier domain phase for quasi-circular binaries. We also perform a parameter space study, which indicates that the values of black hole scalar charges play a crucial role in the detectability of deviation from General Relativity. We also compare the scalar waveforms to numerical relativity simulations to assess the impact of the relativistic corrections to the scalar radiation. Our results provide important foundations for future precision tests of gravity.
We rigorously analyze the frequency response functions and antenna sensitivity patterns of three types of interferometric detectors to scalar mode of gravitational waves which is predicted to exist in the scalar-tensor theory of gravity. By a straigh
tforward treatment, we show that the antenna sensitivity pattern of the simple Michelson interferometric detector depends strongly on the wave length $lambda_{rm SGW}$ of the scalar mode of gravitational waves if $lambda_{rm SGW}$ is comparable to the arm length of the interferometric detector. For the Delay-Line and Fabry-Perot interferometric detectors with arm length much shorter than $lambda_{rm SGW}$, however, the antenna sensitivity patterns depend weakly on $lambda_{rm SGW}$ even though $lambda_{rm SGW}$ is comparable to the effective path length of those interferometers. This agrees with the result obtained by Maggiore and Nicolis.
Gravitational-wave sources offer us unique testbeds for probing strong-field, dynamical and nonlinear aspects of gravity. In this chapter, we give a brief overview of the current status and future prospects of testing General Relativity with gravitat
ional waves. In particular, we focus on three theory-agnostic tests (parameterized tests, inspiral-merger-ringdown consistency tests, and gravitational-wave propagation tests) and explain how one can apply such tests to example modified theories of gravity. We conclude by giving some open questions that need to be resolved to carry out more accurate tests of gravity with gravitational waves.
Circularly polarized gravitational sandwich waves exhibit, as do their linearly polarized counterparts, the Velocity Memory Effect: freely falling test particles in the flat after-zone fly apart along straight lines with constant velocity. In the ins
ide zone their trajectories combine oscillatory and rotational motions in a complicated way. For circularly polarized periodic gravitational waves some trajectories remain bounded, while others spiral outward. These waves admit an additional screw isometry beyond the usual five. The consequences of this extra symmetry are explored.
