Role of QCD in moduli stabilization during inflation and axion dark matter

Abstract Ignorance of the initial condition for the axion dynamics in the early Universe has led us to consider an O(1) valued initial amplitude, and that prefers the decay constant, F a , of the QCD axion to be an intermediate scale such as 1012 GeV in order to explain the dark matter abundance. We...
