Description
The gauge dependence of the second order induced gravitational waves are widely recognized issue since GWs should be physical observable. While there have been several studies about the gauge dependence, I will talk about a new idea to solve the issue. I revisited the definition of nonlinear tensor modes and their gauge transformation from a covariant perspective and find a way to properly define the gauge invariant energy density of the induced GWs.
