Constraining Binary Mergers in Active Galactic Nuclei Disks Using the Nonobservation of Lensed Gravitational Waves by Samson H. W. Leong, Justin Janquart, Aditya Kumar Sharma, Paul Martens, Parameswaran Ajith, Otto A. Hannuksela

“…The nondetection of lensing with current ${ \mathcal O }(100)$ detections will be sufficient to start placing constraints on the fraction of BBHs living within accretion disks near the SMBH. In the next-generation detectors era, with ${ \mathcal O }(1{0}^{5})$ BBH observations and no lensed events, we will be able to rule out most migration traps as dominant birthplaces of BBH mergers; moreover, we will be able to constrain the minimum size of the accretion disk. …”
