Gravitational Wave - Gauge Field Oscillations
  Gravitational waves propagating through a stationary gauge field transform
into gauge field waves and back again. When multiple families of flavor-space
locked gauge fields are present, the gravitational and gauge field waves
exhibit novel dynamics. At high frequencies, the system behaves like coupled
oscillators in which the gravitational wave is the central pacemaker. Due to
energy conservation and exchange among the oscillators, the wave amplitudes lie
on a multidimensional sphere, reminiscent of neutrino flavor oscillations. This
phenomenon has implications for cosmological scenarios based on flavor-space
locked gauge fields.
