Correlation analysis for isotropic stochastic gravitational wave
  backgrounds with maximally allowed polarization degrees
  We study correlation analysis for monopole components of stochastic
gravitational wave backgrounds, including the maximally allowed polarization
degrees. We show that, for typical detector networks, the correlation analysis
can probe virtually five spectra: three for the intensities of the tensor,
vector, and scalar modes and two for the chiral asymmetries of the tensor and
vector modes. The chiral asymmetric signal for the vector modes has been left
untouched so far. In this paper, we derive the overlap reduction function for
this signal and thus complete the basic ingredients required for widely dealing
with polarization degrees. We comprehensively analyze the geometrical
properties of all the five overlap reduction functions. In particular, we point
out the importance of reflection transformations for configuring preferable
networks in the future.
