A standard expectation of primordial cosmological inflation is that it dilutes all relics created before its onset to unobservable levels. We present a counterexample to this expectation by demonstrating that a network of cosmic strings diluted by inflation can regrow to a level that is potentially observable today in gravitational waves~(GWs). In contrast to undiluted cosmic strings, whose primary GW signals are typically in the form of a stochastic GW background, the leading signal from a diluted cosmic string network can be distinctive bursts of GWs within the sensitivity reach of current and future GW observatories.

  1. Searching Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background Landscape Across Frequency Bands

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hybrid cosmic string–domain wall model can fit the NANOGrav 15-year signal, and its high-frequency tail lies within LISA's projected reach, making the interpretation testable.

  2. Cogenesis of baryon and lepton number asymmetries matching the EMPRESS Data

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A U(1)_{B-L} flaton decay chain can produce both a large positive electron-neutrino asymmetry and the observed baryon asymmetry, with values matching EMPRESS and BBN for a symmetry-breaking scale around 10^10 GeV.

  3. 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...

  4. Monopoles, Strings, Walls and Gravitational waves

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Breaking SU(2) flavor gauge symmetry stepwise to nothing leaves monopoles, strings, and walls; collapsing walls can form composite strings whose gravitational-wave spectra fit PTA data and lie within reach of LVK and ...

  5. 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.
