| contents | In this work, we study the generation of gravitational waves in the E-model inflation with the scalar field non-minimally coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term. Considering a wall-crossing behavior in the moduli space, we parameterize the coupling coefficient $ξ$ as a step-like function, then if $V_{,ϕ}ξ_{,ϕ}>0$, the Gauss-Bonnet term dominate the inflation dynamics, causing a short rapid-decline phase of the inflaton, and for appropriate parameter spaces, the mode equation of tensor perturbations develops a transient growing solution. This process generates a peak in the tensor perturbation power spectrum, corresponding to a peak in the gravitational wave energy spectrum around the nanohertz frequency band. Further more, we investigate the feasibility of generating double peaks in the gravitational wave spectrum using a double-step coupling, For certain parameter choices, one peak lies near nanohertz frequencies, while the other is around millihertz frequencies. Consequently, these gravitational waves can be observed by the pulsar timing array and the space-based gravitational wave detectors such as LISA, simultaneously. |
