A "Gauged" U(1) Peccei-Quinn Symmetry
read the original abstract
The Peccei-Quinn (PQ) solution to the strong $CP$ problem requires an anomalous global $U(1)$ symmetry, the PQ symmetry. The origin of such a convenient global symmetry is quite puzzling from the theoretical point of view in many aspects. In this paper, we propose a simple prescription which provides an origin of the PQ symmetry. There, the global $U(1)$ PQ symmetry is virtually embedded in a gauged $U(1)$ PQ symmetry. Due to its simplicity, this mechanism can be implemented in many conventional models with the PQ symmetry.

Big Axions
Big axions are axion models from collective spontaneous breaking of a delocalized network of U(1) symmetries that realize high-quality accidental global symmetries, solve the strong CP problem, and may explain dark matter.
