The QCD Axion and Moduli Stabilisation
read the original abstract
We investigate the conditions for a QCD axion to coexist with stabilised moduli in string compactifications. We show how the simplest approaches to moduli stabilisation give unacceptably large masses to the axions. We observe that solving the F-term equations is insufficient for realistic moduli stabilisation and give a no-go theorem on supersymmetric moduli stabilisation with unfixed axions applicable to all string compactifications and relevant to much current work. We demonstrate how nonsupersymmetric moduli stabilisation with unfixed axions can be realised. We finally outline how to stabilise the moduli such that f_a is within the allowed window 10^9 GeV < f_a < 10^{12} GeV, with f_a ~ \sqrt{M_{SUSY} M_P}.

Stochastic Axion Mixing: A General Mechanism Beyond Decay Constant Constraints
Stochastic axion mixing is a broad mechanism for axion interactions in multi-axion systems that occurs naturally under distinct mass conditions and does not depend on decay constant hierarchies.
