Gravity waves and linear inflation from axion monodromy
Abstract
Wrapped branes in string compactifications introduce a monodromy that extends the field range of individual closed-string axions to beyond the Planck scale. Furthermore, approximate shift symmetries of the system naturally control corrections to the axion potential. This suggests a general mechanism for chaotic inflation driven by monodromy-extended closed-string axions. We systematically analyze this possibility and show that the mechanism is compatible with moduli stabilization and can be realized in many types of compactifications, including warped Calabi-Yau manifolds and more general Ricci-curved spaces. In this broad class of models, the potential is linear in the canonical inflaton field, predicting a tensor to scalar ratio $r\ensuremath{\approx}0.07$ accessible to upcoming cosmic microwave background observations.

In the citing paper
“They and their Dehn fillings to more general Einstein spaces exhibit explicit discrete parameters that yield small closed geodesics supporting Casimir energy.”
From Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity (2022) · cites this paper as [22]
In the citing paper
“Two concrete examples of this are the Einstein spaces obtained from a higher-dimensional analogue of Dehn filled cusps [19] 4 and the 'inbreeding' construction [20][21][22].”
From Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity (2022) · cites this paper as [22]
In the citing paper
“Of particular interest to us is an inverse relationship between systole size and volume: such a bound derived in [21,22] in the context of the inbreeding construction for small systoles [20] has the same effect of maintaining an order 1 value of the factor in brackets in (4.5).”
From Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity (2022) · cites this paper as [22]
In the citing paper
“This analysis is reasonably model-independent, and applies to small systoles as in the 'inbreeding' construction [20][21][22] or Anderson filling [19].”
From Hyperbolic compactification of M-theory and de Sitter quantum gravity (2022) · cites this paper as [22]
In the citing paper
“In the context of the compactifications we are studying here, this also connects to mathematics in an interesting way: small circles supporting strong Casimir energy come with lower bounds on the overall volume of the internal manifold [22,52].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
