A bulk axion in flat or warped extra dimensions cannot produce displaced 'QCD maxion' patterns; only a canonical QCD axion plus a decoupled KK plateau survives the combined gravitational, unitarity, and astrophysical constraints.

abstract
Motivated by multi-throat considerations, we study the phenomenological implications of a bulk axion in a slice of AdS_5 with a large extra dimension: k~0.01 eV, kR > 1. In particular, we compare axion physics with a warped geometry to axions in flat compactifications. As in flat compactification scenarios, we find that the mass of the axion can become independent from the underlying Peccei-Quinn scale. Surprisingly, we find that in warped extra dimensions the axion's invisibility, cosmological viability, and basic phenomenology remain essentially unaltered in comparison to axions in flat compactifications.

Extra-dimensional axion patterns
A bulk axion in flat or warped extra dimensions cannot produce displaced 'QCD maxion' patterns; only a canonical QCD axion plus a decoupled KK plateau survives the combined gravitational, unitarity, and astrophysical constraints.
