Inflaton-gluon coupling induces early QCD confinement to suppress axion isocurvature perturbations and enable axion dark matter production in alpha-attractor inflation models.
Pre-inflationary QCD axions form dense stars with densities up to 10^4 eV^4 that contain up to 50% of dark matter after moduli domination.
Majoron dark matter is viable for sub-MeV masses in high-scale seesaw models with thermal leptogenesis, produced via misalignment and cosmic strings in pre- and post-inflationary scenarios and constrained by CMB, X-ray, and gravitational wave observations.
Combined CMB datasets moderately tighten the allowed range for the spectral index of axion isocurvature but leave amplitude bounds for fixed indices unchanged.
