Abstract

Gravitational wave physics can probe theories that extend beyond General Relativity. Motivated by the attention on the Kalb-Ramond field as a dark matter candidate, in this work, we study a parity violating dimension four operator which couples the dual Riemann curvature to the 2-form field. After mapping the equations of motion for the right- and left-handed gravitational wave amplitudes to the novel parameterization presented in \citeJenks:2023pmk, we discuss constraints on the model parameters in light of the coincident electromagnetic/gravitational wave signal of GW170817.
