We propose a QCD axion model where the origin of PQ symmetry and suppression of axion isocurvature perturbations are explained by introducing an extra dimension. Each extra quark-antiquark pair lives on branes separately to suppress PQ breaking operators. The size of the extra dimension changes after inflation due to an interaction between inflaton and a bulk scalar field, which implies that the PQ symmetry can be drastically broken during inflation to suppress undesirable axion isocurvature fluctuations.

  1. Suppressing Extra-Dimensional Axion Isocurvature Dynamically

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Radion dynamics in warped 5D models enhance the axion decay constant during inflation, satisfying CMB isocurvature bounds at higher Hubble scales while restoring the QCD window afterward.
