Ultra-light Axions: Degeneracies with Massive Neutrinos and Forecasts for Future Cosmological Observations

A generic prediction of string theory is the existence of many axion fields. It has recently been argued that many of these fields should be light and, like the well known QCD axion, lead to observable cosmological consequences. In this paper we study in detail the effect of the so-called string axi...
