A Combined Exclusion Map for Torsion Bounce Backgrounds: Interferometer, Timing, Microwave and Nucleosynthesis Bounds Together
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. Individual bounds are usually quoted one at a time, which lets a model survive each in turn while failing their combination; this study overlays the interferometer, timing, microwave-era and nucleosynthesis constraints on a single grid. The headline results of the computation are: grid_total = 72, grid_excluded = 33, grid_surviving = 39, excluded_fraction = 0.46, max_surviving_Omega_peak = 1.0e-06. 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.
