A Natural Framework for Chaotic Inflation
Abstract
We show that inflation with a quadratic potential occurs naturally in theories where an axionlike field mixes with a 4-form. Such an axion is massive, with the mass which arises from the mixing being protected by the axion shift symmetry. The 4-form backgrounds break this symmetry spontaneously and comprise a minilandscape, where their fluxes can change by emission of membranes. Inflation can begin when the 4-form dominates the energy density. Eventually, this energy is reduced by membrane emission, and the axion can roll slowly towards its minimum, as in the simplest version of chaotic inflation.

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 [21]
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 [21]
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 [21]
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 [21]
In the citing paper
“and likely also other constructions of hyperbolic manifolds with small systoles[20,21]”

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.
