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.

Tensor perturbations from first-order phase transitions and domain wall annihilation induce curvature fluctuations at second order that form primordial black holes, allowing asteroid-mass PBHs to comprise all dark matter for specific parameter ranges with associated gravitational wave peaks in LISA,
Collapsing axion-like domain walls generate the baryon asymmetry by acting as an effective chemical potential through coupling to the electroweak topological term, with the asymmetry produced via sphaleron processes.
Photon-axion conversion near Kerr black holes produces dimming of photon spectral luminosity that increases with black hole spin, magnetic field strength, and photon-axion coupling, most efficiently at high frequencies.

Primordial Black Hole from Tensor-induced Density Fluctuation: First-order Phase Transitions and Domain Walls
Tensor perturbations from first-order phase transitions and domain wall annihilation induce curvature fluctuations at second order that form primordial black holes, allowing asteroid-mass PBHs to comprise all dark matter for specific parameter ranges with associated gravitational wave peaks in LISA,
