abstract

We study a model of inflation with multiple pseudo-scalar fields coupled to a $U(1)$ gauge field through Chern-Simons interactions. Because of parity violating interactions, one polarization of the gauge field is amplified yielding to enhanced curvature perturbation power spectrum. Inflation proceeds in multiple stages as each pseudo-scalar field rolls towards its minimum yielding to distinct multiple peaks in the curvature perturbations power spectrum at various scales during inflation. The localized peaks in power spectrum generate Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) which can furnish a large fraction of Dark Matter (DM) abundance. In addition, gravitational waves (GWs) with non-trivial spectra are generated which are in sensitivity range of various forthcoming GW observatories.

  1. Axion USR Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In axion inflation with an intermediate ultra-slow-roll phase, the instability parameter collapses at the start of USR, terminating gauge production and yielding a two-peak power spectrum with P_R ∝ k^m, m>4.
