In this chiral U(1)_{B-L} axion model, demanding high axion quality forces a minimal axion-electron coupling that can exceed standard KSVZ-model predictions.

A discrete gauge symmetry protecting the axion induces a large effective mass during inflation via a gauge-invariant PQ-violating operator, suppressing isocurvature fluctuations and addressing both quality and isocurvature issues.
A Z4 × Z3 discrete gauge symmetry in the SM requires three new Majorana fermions whose lightest member is stable DM with mass from a singlet scalar VEV near the electroweak scale, enabling WIMP freeze-out via scalar-mediated annihilation.
A flat-interval 5D U(1) Wilson-line axion with 4D KSVZ/DFSZ anomaly sector supplies exponential quality protection while remaining minimal.
