abstract
The $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ invariant $\alpha$-attractor models have plateau potentials with respect to the inflaton and axion fields. The potential in the axion direction is almost exactly flat during inflation, hence, the axion field remains nearly massless. In this paper, we develop a generalized class of such models, where the $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ symmetry is preserved, but the axion acquires a large mass and becomes strongly stabilized during inflation, which eliminates isocurvature perturbations in this scenario. Inflation in such two-field models occurs as in the single-field $\alpha$-attractors and leads to the same cosmological predictions.

Gravitational waves from self-resonance during reheating with a quantum-corrected inflaton potential
A Coleman-Weinberg correction that cancels the inflaton's quadratic term at the potential minimum triggers quartic self-resonance and a peaked GW background at 10^8-10^10 Hz; a negative quadratic term instead gives a ...

Ultra slow-turn inflation
In slow-roll multi-field inflation, stability should be read from the total entropy perturbation, which decays in 'ultra slow-turn' models even when the isocurvature effective mass-squared is negative.

Post-inflationary enhancement of adiabatic perturbations in modular cosmology
In modular inflation models, entropic perturbations frozen during inflation are converted into curvature perturbations after inflation, producing an enhanced power spectrum while preserving the spectral index ns.
