abstract

We present a dynamical (composite) axion model where the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry arises automatically as a consequence of chirality and gauge symmetry. The Standard Model is simply extended by a confining and chiral $SU(5)$ gauge symmetry. The PQ symmetry coincides with a $B-L$ symmetry of the exotic sector. The theory is protected by construction from quantum gravitational corrections stemming from operators with mass dimension lower than nine.

  1. Abundant production of scalars and axions from phase transition bubble expansion

    hep-ph 2026-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Constant-velocity spherical bubble walls radiate massive scalars until the wall's rest-frame curvature exceeds the particle Compton wavelength, a mechanism that can dominate freeze-in production of axion-like particles.

  2. A High-Quality Axion from Exact SUSY Chiral Dynamics

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A supersymmetric chiral gauge theory stabilized by anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking produces a composite QCD axion whose Peccei-Quinn symmetry is protected by a discrete gauge symmetry.

  3. A High-Quality Composite Pati-Salam Axion

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new composite axion model in which the Pati-Salam gauge group emerges from strong dynamics, yielding a high-quality accidental PQ symmetry and a fixed axion-photon coupling ratio E/N = -7/3.

  4. 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.

  5. Axion Quality Problem: Keep Calm and Baryon

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The QCD axion can be the Goldstone boson of baryon number in a minimal N_c=N_f supersymmetric QCD sector, with PQ-breaking effects suppressed by dimension N_c+2 operators.

  6. Glueball Axion-Like Particles

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A pseudoscalar glueball from a dark Yang-Mills sector, called a GALP, is shown to behave like an axion-like particle and to be a viable dark matter candidate with a predicted mass-coupling relation.

  7. Axions at the meV Crossroads: Theory, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    The meV axion window is presented as a coherent, cross-validated search program in which string theory, stellar cooling, dark matter, and new detector concepts converge on the same mass range.
