Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Spectrum of a Torsion-Regulated Bounce: Peak Frequency, Amplitude and Spectral Shape
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study computes a specific gravitational-wave consequence of a torsion-regulated bounce in Einstein-Cartan gravity, taking the limiting density for neutron matter, 9.72e+54 grams per cubic centimetre under the stated prescription, as its single input scale. The spectrum is a broken power law rising as frequency squared below the peak and falling above it, so each detector band samples a different, separately checkable portion of the same curve. At the fiducial normalisation the peak sits inside the ground-based interferometer band just below the published stochastic upper limit, which makes the spectrum testable by the next observing run rather than only by future instruments. The headline results of the computation are: f_peak_Hz = 2.64e+02, Omega_peak = 3.00e-09, T_bounce_K = 1.21e+22, Omega_nHz = 4.32e-30, Omega_mHz = 4.32e-20, Omega_25Hz = 2.70e-11, n1 = 2.0, n2 = -1.5. Each quantity is evaluated by the deposited script from the assumptions stated in the Methods, and the agreement or disagreement of each quantity with published observational bounds is reported at face value, including where the conclusion is that the channel examined is closed. The study is simulated and computed from stated assumptions; it is not a measurement, and no observational data were taken for it.
