Relic Gravitational Waves in the Noncommutative Foliated Riemannian Quantum Gravity by César A. Zen Vasconcellos, Peter O. Hess, José A. de Freitas Pacheco, Fridolin Weber, Remo Ruffini, Dimiter Hadjimichef, Moisés Razeira, Benno August Ludwig Bodmann, Marcelo Netz-Marzola, Geovane Naysinger, Rodrigo Fraga da Silva, João G. G. Gimenez

“…This scale factor captures the essence of an intricate topological quantum-leap transition between two phases of the branching universe: a contraction phase preceding the now-surpassed conventional concept of a primordial singularity and a subsequent expansion phase, whose transition region is characterized by a Riemannian topological foliated structure. The present linearized formulation, based on a slight gravitational field perturbation, also reveals a high sensitivity of relic gravitational wave amplitudes to the primordial matter and energy content during the universe’s phase transition. …”
