Combining universal and odd RR axions for aligned natural inflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We successfully embed the Kim-Nilles-Peloso (KNP) alignment mechanism for enhancing the axion decay constant in the context of large volume type IIB orientifolds. The flat direction is generated in the plane of (C0 −C2) axions corresponding to the involutively even universal axion C0 and odd axion C2, respectively. The moduli stabilization with large volume scheme has been established as well.

Towards natural inflation in string theory
We provide type IIB string embeddings of two axion variants of natural inflation. We use a combination of RR 2-form axions as the inflaton field and have its potential generated by nonperturbative effects in the superpotential. Besides giving rise to inflation, the models developed take into account the stabilization of the compact space, an essential condition for any semirealistic model of st...
متن کاملCompleting Natural Inflation
If the inflaton is a pseudo-scalar axion, the axion shift symmetry can protect the flatness of its potential from too large radiative corrections. This possibility, known as natural inflation, requires an axion scale which is greater than the (reduced) Planck scale. It is unclear whether such a high value is compatible with an effective field theoretical description, and if the global axionic s...

*Correspondence: Bumseok Kyae, Department of Physics, Pusan National University, Busan 609-735, South Korea e-mail: [email protected] We present a perspective on the inflation paths in 2−,3−, . . . ,N−flation models based on the ultraviolet completion in heterotic string theory, where a number of grand unification scale axions are used. The number of non-Abelian gauge groups for a natural infla...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Dark Matter Axions
We discuss the possible sources of dark matter axions in the early universe. In the standard thermal scenario, an axion string network forms at the Peccei-Quinn phase transition T ∼ fa and then radiatively decays into a cosmological background of axions; to be the dark matter, these axions must have a mass ma ∼ 100μeV with specified large uncertainties. An inflationary phase with a reheat tempe...
متن کاملIntermediate Scale Supersymmetric Inflation , Matter and Dark Energy
We consider supersymmetric inflation models in which inflation occurs at an intermediate scale and which provide a solution to the µ problem and the strong CP problem. Such models are particularly attractive since inflation, baryogenesis and the relic abundance of cold dark matter are all related by a set of parameters which also affect particle physics collider phenomena, neutrino masses and t...
