We make the simple observation that, because of global symmetry violating higher-dimension operators expected to be induced by Planck-scale physics, textures are generically much too short-lived to be of use for large-scale structure formation.

  1. Abundant production of scalars and axions from phase transition bubble expansion

    hep-ph 2026-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Constant-velocity spherical bubble walls radiate massive scalars until the wall's rest-frame curvature exceeds the particle Compton wavelength, a mechanism that can dominate freeze-in production of axion-like particles.

  2. 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.
