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...

It is well-known that axions and photons can coherently convert into each other in a background magnetic field, a phenomenon commonly observed in a mixed two-level quantum system such as neutrino oscillations and nuclear spin processions. Similar to the nuclear magnetic resonance and spin flips in a qubit system, we point out that an periodic (in time or space) background magnetic field can...

Cosmic string is a topological defect associated with the spontaneous symmetry breaking in the early universe. After the formation of cosmic strings, they form a network and evolve following the scaling regime. In this talk, I present light particle emissions from the cosmic string network. In particular, I focus on the procudtion of the axion and other pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons and show...
