Hierarchical axion inflation

I Ben-Dayan, FG Pedro, A Westphal - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
… two axions and a hierarchy between two axion decay constants is sufficient for realizing
inflation through nonperturbative effects only and with minimal tuning. The inflationary motion is …

Challenges for heavy QCD axion inflation

F Takahashi, W Yin - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the theoretical possibility for the heavy QCD axion to induce slow-roll inflation
while solving the strong CP problem through the Peccei-Quinn mechanism. If the cancellation …

Natural and multi-natural inflation in axion landscape

T Higaki, F Takahashi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
… of axions where the eternal inflation occurs in the false vacua and the slow-roll inflation
Contrary to [18], however, we believe that no hierarchy in the potential height is needed to …

Recent progress in the physics of axions and axion-like particles

K Choi, SH Im, CS Shin - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
… of hierarchical axion … of inflation for trans-Planckian axion field excursions (26–30). On the
other hand, mechanisms have been presented to naturally produce large hierarchies in axion

A review of Axion Inflation in the era of Planck

E Pajer, M Peloso - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
… Second one needs a hierarchy between the two axion decay constants, namely f ρ ≪ f θ .
In this regime the dynamics proceeds along a linear combination ϕ = θ + ρf ρ , which is …

Can inflation solve the hierarchy problem?

T Biswas, A Notari - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
Inflation with tunneling from a false to a true vacuum becomes viable in the presence of a …
Therefore along with inflation we also provide a natural dynamical explanation for why gravity …

[HTML][HTML] Towards universal axion inflation and reheating in string theory

R Blumenhagen, E Plauschinn - Physics Letters B, 2014 - Elsevier
… For this Letter, we leave aside the technical issue of stabilizing eg the dilaton in such a
way that its mass is hierarchical bigger than the mass of the axion. Thus, we assume that the …

Systematics of axion inflation in Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces

C Long, L McAllister, J Stout - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
… Because the Λa depend exponentially on fourcycle volumes, there will generally be large
hierarchies among the Λa, and so some terms in the axion potential may provide only small …
