We present a new model of inflation in which the inflaton is the extra component of a gauge field in a 5d theory compactified on a circle. The chief merit of this model is that the potential comes only from non-local effects so that its flatness is not spoiled by higher dimensional operators or quantum gravity corrections. The model predicts a red spectrum (n ~ 0.96) and a significant production of gravitational waves (r ~ 0.11). We also comment on the relevance of this idea to quintessence.

  1. Big Axions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Big axions are axion models from collective spontaneous breaking of a delocalized network of U(1) symmetries that realize high-quality accidental global symmetries, solve the strong CP problem, and may explain dark matter.

  2. Extra-dimensional Origins of Chemical Potentials at the Cosmological Collider

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A rolling 5D gauge-field inflaton acts as an extra-dimensional electric field, creating charged and neutral KK particles far heavier than H and yielding observable oscillatory signatures.

  3. Deconstructing the Extra-Dimensional Axion

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 4D moose gauge theory with gauged WZW term deconstructs the 5D orbifold axion, reproducing its shift symmetry, instanton effects, and quality features via collective PNGB dynamics.

  4. Natural Phantom Crossing from Axion-WIMP Interactions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Z_N-symmetric WIMP sector stores the initial axion value in its relic distribution and later generates a finite-density axion potential, producing an apparent late-time phantom crossing without ghosts.

  5. Axions on de Sitter space

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantization of axions on dS_D yields Hilbert space H = L^2(S^1) ⊗ F with zero-mode U(1) charge, producing non-dS-invariant charged sectors and Hadamard Wightman functions that become asymptotically invariant.

  6. DeepInflation: an AI agent for research and model discovery of inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An LLM agent with symbolic regression finds simple inflation potentials that match target CMB observables, but the outputs are fitted to the targets rather than independently predicted.

  7. The Internal Structure of the Deconstructed Dirac Monopole

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a deconstructed U(1) gauge theory, the diagonal U(1) Dirac monopole is a flux-tube-bound cluster of N fractionally charged monopoles with size set by the lattice spacing.

  8. 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.

  9. Early Galaxies from Rare Inflationary Processes and JWST Observations

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Rare Poisson processes during inflation can seed dense regions that collapse into massive galaxies at redshifts where standard cosmology predicts almost none, and JWST could detect them.

  10. Axion strings from string axions

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a Randall-Sundrum warped extra dimension, the gauge-symmetry-protected axion can form low-tension cosmic strings at junctions of bubbles in a first-order phase transition, unlike earlier string axion models with Pl...

  11. Analysis of inflationary models in higher-dimensional uniform inflation

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In (D+4)-dimensional uniform inflation the spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio are ns=1-(D+6)ε+2η and r=8(D+2)ε, which excludes D≥2 for the five models studied while allowing D=1 in the b0k >> 1 branch.

  12. Integrable models of inflation beyond slow-roll

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Integrable inflationary models built from a chosen Hubble function yield power spectra, spectral indices, and tensor-to-scalar ratios, computed beyond slow-roll, that match currently available CMB data.

    cs.SE 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    An experience report claims a Type 2 digital twin for beer fermentation reduces manual sampling time by 91% and enables control at seven bar.

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
