Exact accidental U(1) symmetries for the axion
arXiv:2102.05055 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.055013
Abstract
We study a class of gauge groups that can automatically yield a perturbatively exact Peccei-Quinn symmetry, and we outline a model in which the axion quality problem is solved at all operator dimensions. Gauge groups belonging to this class can also enforce and protect accidental symmetries of the clockwork type, and we present a toy model where an `invisible' axion arises from a single breaking of the gauge and global symmetries.
