POSSIBLE ANISOTROPIC PHASES IN THE EARLY UNIVERSE AND GRAVITATIONAL WAVE BACKGROUND

Abstract
We discuss possible anisotropic and inhomogeneous phases in the early Universe at relatively late epochs corresponding to the temperatures 1 GeV –10 TeV . The anisotropy and inhomogeneity of the energy-momentum tensor at the horizon scale gives rise to the generation of a stochastic gravitational wave background. It is shown that the present amplitudes and frequencies of this background may be well within the access of planned gravitational wave detectors.
