Relic gravitational waves and cosmology
@article{Grishchuk2005RelicGW, title={Relic gravitational waves and cosmology}, author={Leonid P. Grishchuk}, journal={Physics-Uspekhi}, year={2005}, volume={48}, pages={1235-1247} }
The paper begins with a brief recollection of interactions of the author with Ya B Zeldovich in the context of the study of relic gravitational waves. The principles and early results on the quantum-mechanical generation of cosmological perturbations are then summarized. The expected amplitudes of relic gravitational waves differ in various frequency windows, and therefore the techniques and prospects of their detection are distinct. One section of the paper describes the present state of…
