Numerical relativity investigation of the effects of gravitational waves on the inhomogeneity of the universe

Abstract We numerically integrate the Einstein’s equations for a spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaire–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background spacetime with a spatial curvature perturbation and evolving primordial tensor perturbations using the Einstein Toolkit. We find that although the primordial tensor pe...
