More …Interferences in the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background
Some cosmological sources of gravitational waves, such as cosmic strings, are everywhere present and incessantly emitting. Their past and present contribution can mix together to create some fine structure in the stochastic gravitational wave background today.

In a recent preprint, Cristian and Sébastien show the robustness of Starobinsky and Higgs inflation to inhomogeneous initial conditions of all sizes. They have performed full numerical relativity simulations with strong inhomogeneous initial field and velocities. After some “wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey” evolution, the system relaxes towards… Cosmic Inflation.
