The detections of gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescence by ground-based detectors have opened up the era of GW astronomy. These observations provide opportunities to test Einstein's general theory of relativity at the strong-field regime. Here we give a brief overview of the various GW-based tests of General Relativity (GR) performed by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration on the detected GW events to date. After providing details for the tests performed in four categories, we discuss the prospects for each test in the context of future GW detectors. The four categories of tests include the consistency tests, parametrized tests for GW generation and propagation, tests for the merger remnant properties, and GW polarization tests.

  1. Impact of numerical-relativity waveform calibration on parametrized post-Einsteinian tests

    gr-qc 2026-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    NR late-inspiral calibration systematics in IMRPhenomD produce false ppE GR violations at O5 SNRs ≳60; an uncertainty-aware baseline restores consistency with GR up to SNR 330.

  2. Accelerated Sequential Posterior Inference via Reuse for Gravitational-Wave Analyses

    hep-ex 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ASPIRE reuses old posterior samples via normalizing flows and sequential Monte Carlo to produce unbiased posteriors and evidences under new models, cutting likelihood evaluations 4-10x.

  3. Scalar fields from nonlinear sigma models on black hole spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Numerical evolutions show positive-curvature SL(2,R) sigma-model scalars create denser clouds and earlier binary mergers, while negative-curvature O(3) scalars spread out and delay mergers.

  4. Challenges in the nonlinear evolution of unequal mass binaries in sGB gravity

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First full merger simulations of 2:1 and 3:1 black hole binaries in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, with weak-coupling dephasing matching PN predictions but strong-coupling results limited by initial-data transients.

  5. Biases in Tests of General Relativity from Microlensed Gravitational-Wave Signals

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Microlensing in the wave-optics regime can push standard LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA general-relativity tests to false ~4–4.5σ deviations, even for signals that are perfectly consistent with GR.
