About the isocurvature tension between axion and high scale inflationary models

The present work suggests that the isocurvature tension between axion and high energy inflationary scenarios may be avoided by considering a double field inflationary model involving the hidden Peccei–Quinn Higgs and the Standard Model one. Some terms in the lagrangian we propose explicitly violate...
