@article{Harigaya2015DynamicsOP, title={Dynamics of Peccei-Quinn Breaking Field after Inflation and Axion Isocurvature Perturbations}, author={Keisuke Harigaya and Masahiro Ibe and Masahiro Kawasaki and Tsutomu. T. Yanagida}, journal={arXiv: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology}, year={2015} }
The Peccei-Quinn mechanism suffers from the problem of the isocurvature perturbations. The isocurvature perturbations are suppressed if the Peccei-Quinn breaking scale is large during inflation. The oscillation of the Peccei-Quinn breaking field after inflation, however, leads to the formation of domain walls due to the parametric resonance effect. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of the Peccei-Quinn breaking field after inflation in detail, and propose a model where the parametric…

This work proposes a mechanism called axiogenesis where the cosmological excess of baryons over antibaryons is generated from the rotation of the QCD axion, and explores the connections with new physics at the LHC and future colliders and with axion dark matter.
