Higher Axion Strings
Vazha Loladze, Arthur Platschorre, Mario Reig
We study the minimal requirements to obtain axion strings for axions with exponentially good quality. These ingredients appear in theories where an axion coming from a higher-form…

A mass for the dual axion
Arthur Platschorre
In this article we study a modification of axion physics in which the dual axion acquires a mass. This mass explicitly breaks the shift symmetry of the dual axion. The potential br…

The Monodromic Axion-Photon Coupling
Prateek Agrawal, Arthur Platschorre
We consider the general form of the axion coupling to photons in the axion-Maxwell theory. On general grounds this coupling takes the form of a monodromic function of the axion, wh…
