Gravitational Waves Induced by Non-Gaussian Scalar Perturbations

Abstract

We study gravitational waves (GWs) induced by non-Gaussian curvature perturbations. We calculate the density parameter per logarithmic frequency interval, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{GW}}(k)$, given that the power spectrum of the curvature perturbation ${\mathcal{P}}_{\mathcal{R}}(k)$ has a narrow peak at some small scale ${k}_{*}$, with a local-type non-Gaussianity, and constrain the nonlinear parameter ${f}_{\mathrm{NL}}$ with the future LISA sensitivity curve as well as with constraints from the abundance of the primordial black holes (PBHs). We find that the non-Gaussian contribution to ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{GW}}$ increases as ${k}^{3}$, peaks at $k/{k}_{*}=4/\sqrt{3}$, and has a sharp cutoff at $k=4{k}_{*}$. The non-Gaussian part can exceed the Gaussian part if ${\mathcal{P}}_{\mathcal{R}}(k){f}_{\mathrm{NL}}^{2}\ensuremath{\gtrsim}1$. If both a slope ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{GW}}(k)\ensuremath{\propto}{k}^{\ensuremath{\beta}}$ with $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\sim}3$ and the multiple-peak structure around a cutoff are observed, it can be recognized as a smoking gun of the primordial non-Gaussianity. We also find that if PBHs with masses of $1{0}^{20}$ to $1{0}^{22}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{g}$ are identified as cold dark matter of the Universe, the corresponding GWs must be detectable by LISA-like detectors, irrespective of the value of ${\mathcal{P}}_{\mathcal{R}}$ or ${f}_{\mathrm{NL}}$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
