read the original abstract
We improve the estimate of the axion CDM energy density by considering the new values of current quark masses, the QCD phase transition effect and a possible anharmonic effect.

Axion Misalignment Across First-Order Phase Transitions
Lattice simulations show axion misalignment production splits into two regimes during first-order phase transitions, unified by a semi-analytical relic density formula that also alters isocurvature and small-scale pow...

String Axiverse
String theory predicts an axiverse of ultralight axions whose effects on CMB polarization, matter power spectrum, and black hole superradiance can be probed by future astrophysical experiments.

Ultralight Dilatonic Dark Matter
Supersymmetry can stabilize an ultralight dilaton dark matter candidate, but gravity restricts its Standard Model couplings to undetectable levels, making consistent model building involved.

CMB Constraints on Pre-Inflationary Axion Dark Matter Isocurvature
Combined CMB datasets moderately tighten the allowed range for the spectral index of axion isocurvature but leave amplitude bounds for fixed indices unchanged.
