We present the possibility that the seesaw mechanism with thermal leptogenesis can be tested using the stochastic gravitational background. Achieving neutrino masses consistent with atmospheric and solar neutrino data, while avoiding non-perturbative couplings, requires right-neutrinos lighter than the typical scale of grand unification. This scale separation suggests a symmetry protecting the right handed neutrinos from getting a mass. Thermal leptogenesis would then require that such a symmetry be broken below the reheating temperature. We enumerate all such possible symmetries consistent with these minimal assumptions and their corresponding defects, finding that in many cases, gravitational waves from the network of cosmic strings should be detectable. Estimating the predicted gravitational wave background we find that future space-borne missions could probe the entire range relevant for thermal leptogenesis.

Gravitational Waves of GUT Phase Transition during Inflation
A general deformation function maps gravitational wave spectra from phase transitions during inflation into today's spectrum; for GUT-scale transitions the peak can appear near 10 Hz or mHz.

Leptogenesis with sub-electroweak-scale reheating temperature
Leptogenesis remains viable for reheating temperatures below sphaleron freeze-out in three perturbative monomial-inflaton scenarios, with blue-tilted primordial GWs as a potential probe.

Eogenesis via the High-scale Electroweak Symmetry Restoration
A primordial right-handed electron asymmetry, kept out of equilibrium by high-scale electroweak symmetry non-restoration, can be converted by sphalerons into the observed baryon asymmetry without B-L violation.

Gravitational waves from seesaw assisted collapsing domain walls
Right-handed-neutrino couplings generate the energy bias that collapses Z2 domain walls, linking the type-I seesaw mass scale to observable gravitational-wave peaks and to resonant leptogenesis.
