Trans-Planckian censorship constraints on properties and cosmological applications of axion-like fields

We use the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC) to constrain the decay constants f characterizing a set of N identical axion-like fields with cosine potentials, improving upon the precision of other Swampland conjectures and existing string-theoretic arguments. We find that consistency with t...
