QCD in a five-dimensional sliced bulk with chiral extra-quarks on the boundaries is generically free from the strong CP problem. Accidental axial symmetry is naturally present except for suppressed breaking interactions, which plays a role of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry to make the strong CP phase sufficiently small.

  1. Deconstructing the Extra-Dimensional Axion

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 4D moose gauge theory with gauged WZW term deconstructs the 5D orbifold axion, reproducing its shift symmetry, instanton effects, and quality features via collective PNGB dynamics.

  2. A quality-coupling relation in chiral $U(1)_{B-L}$ axion model

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In this chiral U(1)_{B-L} axion model, demanding high axion quality forces a minimal axion-electron coupling that can exceed standard KSVZ-model predictions.

  3. Wiggly dilaton: a landscape of spontaneously broken scale invariance

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 5D axion-like field with periodic brane potentials gives the dilaton a wiggly potential with multiple vacua, enabling relaxion-like or light-dilaton scenarios at the cost of fine-tuning.
