Based on considerations of quantum gravity, global symmetries which lead to axions as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons after low scale symmetry breaking cannot be exact at the Planck scale. Here, we show that Planck-suppressed terms which yield this symmetry breaking may provide a non-inflationary misalignment mechanism which can generate coherent oscillations of the axion and axion-like particle (ALP) fields at low temperatures.

  1. Numerical Backreaction and Finite-Time Energy Transfer in Post-Recombination Magnetogenesis from Ultralight Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Numerical simulations of post-recombination axion dark matter show that for dimensionless coupling α_eff ≳ 0.39, over half the dark-matter energy is transferred into gauge-field modes before back-reaction stops the resonance.

  2. Parametric Resonance and Backreaction Effects in Magnetogenesis from Ultralight Dark Matter

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 reject novelty 4.0

    A narrow parametric resonance channel exists in axion-DM magnetogenesis, but its claimed dominance at very small couplings is undermined by unchecked expansion damping.

  3. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    DESI data favoring time-evolving dark energy may place constant-Λ cosmology in the string swampland and favor string-inspired dynamical dark energy.

  4. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    DESI data indicating evolving dark energy may allow string theory to describe observed universes without violating swampland constraints on constant dark energy.

  5. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review summarizing advancements over the past two years that link DESI baryon acoustic oscillation data to string-inspired scenarios with dynamic dark energy.

  6. Breaking Free from the Swampland of Impossible Universes through the DESI Portal

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review of string-inspired dynamical dark energy models claiming compatibility with DESI's hints of evolving dark energy under swampland constraints.
