The scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) is a useful tool to probe the physics in the early universe. To study inflationary models with this tool, we need to know how the waveform of SIGWs is related to the shape of the scalar power spectrum. We propose two parameterizations to approximate the scalar power spectrum with either a sharp or a broad spike at small scales, and then use these two parameterizations to study the relation between the shapes of $Omega_{GW}$ and the scalar power spectrum. We find that the waveform of SIGWs has a similar shape to the power spectrum. Away from the peak of the spike, the frequency relation $Omega_{GW}(k)sim mathcal{P}_zeta^2(k)$ holds independent of the functional form of the scalar power spectrum. We also give a physical explanation for this general relationship. The general relation is useful for determining the scalar power spectrum and probing inflationary physics with the waveform of SIGWs.
The gauge dependence of the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) generated at the second order imposes a challenge to the discussion of the secondary gravitational waves generated by scalar perturbations. We provide a general formula that is va
In this talk I review recent progresses in the detection of scalar gravitational waves. Furthermore, in the framework of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory, I compute the signal to noise ratio for a resonant mass detector of spherical shape and for binary
The speed of gravitational waves provides us a new tool to test alternative theories of gravity. The constraint on the speed of gravitational waves from GW170817 and GRB170817A is used to test some classes of Horndeski theory. In particular, we consi
We discuss the scalar mode of gravitational waves emerging in the context of $F(R)$ gravity by taking into account the chameleon mechanism. Assuming a toy model with a specific matter distribution to reproduce the environment of detection experiment
The direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) is an invaluable new tool to probe gravity and the nature of cosmic acceleration. A large class of scalar-tensor theories predict that GWs propagate with velocity different than the speed of light, a
