An embedding of a unified dark sector model into string theory with the following features is proposed: The model-independent axion descending from the Kalb-Ramond 2-form field is identified with the dark-matter field, and the real part of a K\"ahler modulus field -- the ``radius'' of one of the extra spatial dimensions -- accounts for dark energy. The expectation value of the dilaton field is stabilized by a gaugino condensation mechanism. A dark-energy potential corresponding to a realistic low energy scale results from some gentle tuning of the stabilized expectation value of the dilaton. The resulting potential reproduces the one in a previous dark-sector model proposed by two of us.

  1. Heterotic Warm Inflation

    In a heterotic-string-inspired two-field warm inflation model, the axion drives inflation while thermal corrections from gauge fields block sustained dilaton-driven inflation.

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A screened axio-dilaton dark energy model produces a self-terminating early dark energy phase from axion-matter couplings, reaching a few percent of the total density, and stronger dilaton-matter couplings decrease th...

  3. Kinetic backreaction cannot suppress axion quantum pressure

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Kinetic backreaction from an ultralight axion condensate always increases the kinetic coupling f(χ), so the Jeans length grows and quantum pressure cannot be dynamically suppressed.
