Can Gravitational Instantons Really Constrain Axion Inflation?
Arthur Hebecker, Patrick Mangat, Stefan Theisen +1
Axions play a central role in inflationary model building and other cosmological applications. This is mainly due to their flat potential, which is protected by a global shift symm…
Winding out of the Swamp: Evading the Weak Gravity Conjecture with F-term Winding Inflation?
Arthur Hebecker, Patrick Mangat, Fabrizio Rompineve +1
We present a new model of large field inflation along a winding trajectory in the field space of two axionic fields, where the 'axions' originate from the complex structure moduli…
Tuning and Backreaction in F-term Axion Monodromy Inflation
Arthur Hebecker, Patrick Mangat, Fabrizio Rompineve +1
We continue the development of axion monodromy inflation, focussing in particular on the backreaction of complex structure moduli. In our setting, the shift symmetry comes from a p…
