Exploring String Axions with Gravitational Waves

We explore the string axion dark matter with gravitational waves in Chern–Simons gravity. We show that the parametric resonance of gravitational waves occurs due to the axion coherent oscillation. Remarkably, the circular polarization of gravitational waves is induced by the parity violating Chern–S...
