DESCRIPTION:Wave-optics limit of the stochastic gravitational wave backgrou
 nd\n\nThe stochastic gravitational waves background is a rich resource of 
 cosmological information\, encoded both in its source statistics and its a
 nisotropies induced by propagation effects. During their propagation\, the
  gravitational waves constituting the stochastic background encounter cosm
 ic structures\, which are able to modify the observed signal. According to
  the ratio between the wavelength of the wave\, and the matter overdensiti
 es typical length-scale\, interference and diffraction effects may arise\,
  possibly boosting the signal's amplitude or inducing a non-trivial polari
 zation pattern. In this talk I will present my results about the wave-opti
 cs limit of the stochastic gravitational wave background\, and describe ho
 w we can use them to gain information about the matter content of the Univ
 erse.
