abstract

If inflation occurs after the breaking of Peccei-Quinn symmetry then large values of the breaking scale $F$, which are forbidden in conventional axion cosmology, are permitted, provided that we inhabit a region of the Multiverse where the initial misalignment is small. Regions having approximately this initial misalignment may occupy a small volume of the Multiverse, but they contain a large fraction of potential observers. This scenario has many consequences, including a possible explanation of the approximate equality of dark and baryon matter densities.

  1. Dark Matter and Naturalness

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dark SU(3)xSU(2) gauge theory with one generation of chiral fermions naturally produces stable dark baryons with mass around 150 TeV as the dark matter.

  2. QCD Axion on Hilltop by a Phase Shift of $\pi$

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A heavy axion inflaton can shift the QCD axion potential by π, placing the QCD axion at the hilltop and allowing f_a ≳ 3×10^9 GeV to explain all dark matter.

  3. Majoron Dark Matter, High-Scale Seesaw, and Leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Majoron dark matter is viable for sub-MeV masses in high-scale seesaw models with thermal leptogenesis, produced via misalignment and cosmic strings in pre- and post-inflationary scenarios and constrained by CMB, X-ra...
