Title: High-scale axions without isocurvature from inflationary dynamics

Abstract

Observable primordial tensor modes in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) would point to a high scale of inflation H_I. If the scale of Peccei-Quinn (PQ) breaking f_a is greater than H_I/2π, CMB constraints on isocurvature naively rule out QCD axion dark matter. This assumes the potential of the axion is unmodified during inflation. We revisit models where inflationary dynamics modify the axion potential and discuss how isocurvature bounds can be relaxed. We find that models that rely solely on a larger PQ-breaking scale during inflation f_I require either late-time dilution of the axion abundance or highly super-Planckian f_I that somehow does not dominate the inflationary energy density. Models that have enhanced explicit breaking of the PQ symmetry during inflation may allow f_a close to the Planck scale. Lastly, avoiding disruption of inflationary dynamics provides important limits on the parameter space.

Domain wall and isocurvature perturbation problems in axion models

Journal Article Kawasaki, Masahiro ; Yoshino, Kazuyoshi ; Yanagida, Tsutomu T., E-mail: kawasaki@icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp, E-mail: tsutomu.tyanagida@ipmu.jp, E-mail: yoshino@icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Axion models have two serious cosmological problems, domain wall and isocurvature perturbation problems. In order to solve these problems we investigate the Linde's model in which the field value of the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) scalar is large during inflation. In this model the fluctuations of the PQ field grow after inflation through the parametric resonance and stable axionic strings may be produced, which results in the domain wall problem. We study formation of axionic strings using lattice simulations. It is found that in chaotic inflation the axion model is free from both the domain wall and the isocurvature perturbation problems ifmore »« less

Isocurvature bounds on axions revisited

Journal Article Beltran, Maria ; Garcia-Bellido, Juan ; Lesgourgues, Julien - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The axion is one of the best motivated candidates for particle dark matter. We study and update the constraints imposed by the recent CMB and LSS experiments on the mass of axions produced by the misalignment mechanism, as a function of both the inflationary scale and the reheating temperature. Under some particular although not unconventional assumptions, the axion induces isocurvature perturbations with an amplitude too large to be compatible with observations. Specifically, for inflation taking place at intermediate energy scales, we derive some restrictive limits which can only be evaded by assuming an efficient reheating mechanism, with T{sub rh}>10{sup 11}more »« less

$S U (5) \times U (1)_{X}$ axion model with observable proton decay

We propose a SU(5) × U(1)_X × U(1)_PQ model, where U(1)_X is the generalization of the B – L (baryon minus lepton number) gauge symmetry and U(1)_PQ is the global Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. There are four fermions families inmore »« less

Inflationary axion cosmology

Journal Article Turner, M S ; Wilczek, F - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

If Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is broken after inflation, the initial axion angle is a random variable on cosmological scales; based on this fact, estimates of the relic-axion mass density give too large a value if the axion mass is less than about 10{sup {minus}6} eV. This bound can be evaded if the Universe underwent inflation after PQ symmetry breaking and if the observable Universe happens to be a region where the initial axion angle was atypically small, {theta}{sub 1}{approx lt}({ital m}{sub {ital a}}/10{sup {minus}6} eV{sup 0.59}.) We show consideration of fluctuations induced during inflation severely constrains the latter alternative.

Cosmological problems with multiple axion-like fields

Journal Article Mack, Katherine J. ; Steinhardt, Paul J., E-mail: mack@ast.cam.ac.uk, E-mail: steinh@princeton.edu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Incorporating the QCD axion and simultaneously satisfying current constraints on the dark matter density and isocurvature fluctuations requires non-minimal fine-tuning of inflationary parameters or the axion misalignment angle (or both) for Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scales f{sub a} > 10{sup 12} GeV. To gauge the degree of tuning in models with many axion-like fields at similar symmetry-breaking scales and masses, as may occur in string theoretic models that include a QCD axion, we introduce a figure of merit F that measures the fractional volume of allowed parameter space: the product of the slow roll parameter ε and each of the axion misalignmentmore »« less
