We study the evolution of topological defects in multi-axion models and propose a novel solution to the domain wall problem of the QCD axion.
Multi-axion dynamics, arising from multiple Peccei–Quinn scalars, can lead to qualitatively different defect evolution compared to single-axion models. In particular, networks of cosmic strings and high-tension domain walls tend to form, posing a...
