Description
In this presentation, I will first discuss the theoretical characteristics of polymerized gravitational waves (GWs). Subsequently, I will present empirical limitations on the polymer scale concerning polymer GWs within a classical background spacetime. These constraints will be derived from variations in the propagation speed of GWs. By leveraging data from reputable sources such as the inter-detector arrival time delays from the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration's GWTC1, and the arrival time disparities between the GW signal GW170817 and its corresponding gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, we will deduce restrictions on the polymer parameters.
