摘要：

The spontaneous breaking of U(1)(B-L) around the scale of grand unification can simultaneously account for hybrid inflation, leptogenesis, and neutralino dark matter, thus resolving three major puzzles of particle physics and cosmology in a single predictive framework. The B-L phase transition also results in a network of cosmic strings. If strong and electroweak interactions are unified in an S O (10) gauge group, containing U(1)(B-L) as a subgroup, these strings are metastable. In this case, they produce a stochastic background of gravitational waves that evades current pulsar timing bounds, but features a flat spectrum with amplitude h(2)Omega(GW) similar to 10(-8) at interferometer frequencies. Ongoing and future LIGO observations will hence probe the scale of B - L breaking. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
