Geometrical Destabilisation of Ultra-Light Axions in String Inflation
read the original abstract
We perform a detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the multi-field evolution of Fibre Inflation and show that, regardless of the microscopic realisation of the model, the mass-squared of one of the two ultra-light axions becomes always negative during inflation. This implies that the corresponding isocurvature perturbations experience a potential geometrical destabilisation which seems to bring the system away from the perturbative regime. Therefore we conclude that a full understanding of the inflationary evolution of Fibre Inflation can be achieved only via a non-perturbative analysis where the backreaction of tachyonic isocurvature perturbations is properly taken into account.

Chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with $\overline{\rm D3}$ uplift
Explicit construction of a chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with anti-D3 uplift on an h^{1,1}=4 K3-fibered Calabi-Yau, using magnetised D7-branes, a Whitney brane, and O3-planes at a conifold tip, with viabl...

Spectator Axions in String Inflation and Primordial Black Holes
In Fibre Inflation, spectator axions with f≲0.1 M_Pl leave the PBH power spectrum unchanged, while for f≳0.1 M_Pl and exponentially small non-perturbative prefactors they can raise P_R from 1.9e-4 to 3.5e-3 and enable...

Ultra slow-turn inflation
In slow-roll multi-field inflation, stability should be read from the total entropy perturbation, which decays in 'ultra slow-turn' models even when the isocurvature effective mass-squared is negative.
