How attractive is the isotropic attractor solution of axion-SU(2) inflation?

Ira Wolfson, Azadeh Maleknejad, Eiichiro Komatsu

The key to the phenomenological success of inflation models with axion and SU(2) gauge fields is the isotropic background of the SU(2) field. Previous studies showed that this isot…
