Limits on the Gravity Wave Background From Microlensed Quasars
Abstract
The paper previously submitted under this title is incorrect in that it drastically overestimates the cumulative deflection due to a gravitational wave (GW) background. Avi Loeb gives a simple argument that there can be no (Dω)1/2 enhancement: since the problem is linear in h, one can decompose the GWs into plane waves and for each of these there is no enhancement.
