Abstract We consider cosmological models based on the generalized scalar-tensor gravity, which correspond to the observational constraints on the parameters of cosmological perturbations for any model’s parameters. The estimates of the energy density of relic gravitational waves for such a cosmological models were made. The possibility of direct detection of such a gravitational waves using modern and prospective methods was discussed as well.

General Relativity is a hugely successful description of gravitation. However, both theory and observations suggest that General Relativity might have significant classical and quantum corrections in the Strong Gravity regime. Testing the strong field limit of gravity is one of the main objectives of the future gravitational wave detectors. One way to detect strong gravity is through the polarization of gravitational waves. For quasi-normal modes of black-holes in General Relativity, the two polarization states of gravitational waves have the same amplitude and frequency spectrum. Using the principle of energy conservation, we show that the polarizations differ for modified gravity theories. We obtain a diagnostic parameter for polarization mismatch that provides a unique way to distinguish General Relativity and modified gravity theories in gravitational wave detectors.
