Axions, Domain Walls, and the Early Universe
Abstract
Axion models have a spontaneously broken $Z(N)$ symmetry. The resulting discretely degenerate vacua and domain-wall solitons are incompatible with the standard cosmology. It is possible, however, to introduce a small $Z(N)$ breaking interaction into axion models without upsetting the Peccei-Quinn mechanism. In that case the domain walls disappear a certain time after their formation in the early universe. Their presence for a limited time period might lead to galaxy formation.

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.
