We examine which information on the early cosmological history can be extracted from the potential measurement by third-generation gravitational-wave observatories of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) produced by cosmic strings. We consider a variety of cosmological scenarios breaking the scale-invariant properties of the spectrum, such as early long matter or kination eras, short intermediate matter and inflation periods inside a radiation era, and their specific signatures on the SGWB. This requires to go beyond the usually-assumed scaling regime, to take into account the transient effects during the change of equation of state of the universe. We compute the time evolution of the string network parameters and thus the loop-production efficiency during the transient regime, and derive the corresponding shift in the turning-point frequency. We consider the impact of particle production on the gravitational-wave emission by loops. We estimate the reach of future interferometers LISA, BBO, DECIGO, ET and CE and radio telescope SKA to probe the new physics energy scale at which the universe has experienced changes in its expansion history. We find that a given interferometer may be sensitive to very different energy scales, depending on the nature and duration of the non-standard era, and the value of the string tension. It is fascinating that by exploiting the data from different GW observatories associated with distinct frequency bands, we may be able to reconstruct the full spectrum and therefore extract the values of fundamental physics parameters.

  1. LISA Reconstruction Landscape for Metastable Cosmic Strings

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LISA can reconstruct metastable cosmic-string tension and lifetime when it samples the tail-to-plateau transition, with residual κ_CS sensitivity possible even in high-SNR plateau-like spectra.

  2. Constraints on High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Graviton-Photon Conversion in the M87 Galaxy

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Graviton–photon conversion in M87's magnetic field sets h_c and Ωgw h² limits 1–5 orders of magnitude tighter than Milky Way-based bounds across 10^10–10^27 Hz.

  3. Cosmic string gravitational wave backgrounds at LISA: II. Reconstruction of conventional signals over astrophysical foregrounds

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    When realistic astrophysical foregrounds are included, LISA can reconstruct the cosmic-string tension to 10% precision only for Gμ ≳ 10^{-11}, 10^5 times larger than foreground-free forecasts.

  4. Large-Scale Structure Probes of the Post-Inflationary Axiverse

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    HST ultraviolet luminosity function data at z=4-10, combined with Lyman-α and CMB data, place leading constraints on subdominant post-inflationary axion dark matter via its white-noise isocurvature perturbations.

  5. Cosmic string gravitational wave backgrounds at LISA: I. Signal survey, template reconstruction, and model comparison

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    As provided, the manuscript body (random lasing) does not correspond to the abstract (cosmic string gravitational wave backgrounds at LISA), leaving the abstract's quantitative claims unsupported by any accessible text.

  6. Gravitational waves from metastable cosmic strings in the delayed scaling scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Metastable cosmic strings with delayed scaling can explain the PTA gravitational wave background with tension up to Gmu ~ 3e-5 while evading LVK bounds, producing a plateau and an f^-1/3 tail detectable by future inte...

  7. Speech Codec Probing from Semantic and Phonetic Perspectives

    eess.AS 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Probing shows current speech codecs capture phonetic more than lexical-semantic content, implying redesign is needed for speech–LLM systems.

  8. Magnetic monopoles and high frequency gravitational waves from quasi-stable strings

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    SO(10) breaking through flipped SU(5) or Pati-Salam subgroups can produce GUT monopoles from merging monopole-antimonopole pairs, while the intervening quasi-stable strings emit gravitational waves from Hz to kHz.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A U(1)_X vector dark matter model explains the KM3-230213A PeV neutrino via DM decay and predicts a cosmic string gravitational wave background consistent with PTA observations, but with several parameters fitted to the data.

  10. C-parity, magnetic monopoles and higher frequency gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The C-string-wall network from SO(10) breaking with unbroken C-parity produces a gravitational wave background peaking between 100 Hz and 100 kHz for intermediate breaking scales around 10^10 to 10^12 GeV.

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    An SKAO PTA with ~174 millisecond pulsars can dominate nanohertz GW sensitivity within four years and enable continuous-wave detections plus anisotropy maps of the gravitational-wave background.

    hep-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Bounds on Z'-mediated dark matter are derived from neutrino telescopes, freeze-in, and cosmic strings, but the telescope bounds rest on comparing a Galactic-center flux to faraway sources.
