abstract
Dark matter axion production can be significantly enhanced through a generic cosmological mechanism: primordial temperature fluctuations periodically modulate the axion mass during the QCD phase transition, thereby triggering parametric resonance in axion field evolution. This interplay between the resonance and the misalignment mechanism moves the predicted axion mass window for the observed dark matter abundance to $10^{-4}-10^{-3} \, \text{eV}$, shifting the preferred mass to previously unexplored higher ranges.

Stochastic inflationary fluctuations cannot supply the large dark-Higgs displacement required for broad parametric resonance production of vector dark matter, but a classically sourced Hubble-induced minimum can, with distinct relic scaling and consistency conditions.
Resonant dilatonic coupling produces ultralight vector dark matter with relic mass scaling as m_γ' ∝ r_i^{-2} for subdominant spectators in radiation-dominated backgrounds.
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.
