Gravitational waves in Modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN PHYSICS D(2020)
Abstract
We study the gravitational waves (GWs) in modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Applying the metric perturbation around a cosmological background, we obtain explicit expressions for the wave equations. It is shown that the speed of the traceless mode is equal to the speed of light. An additional massive scalar mode appears in the propagation of the GWs. To find phenomena beyond the general relativity, the scalar mode mass is calculated as a function of the background curvature in some typical models.
