“…On the particle physics side, axions were introduced to solve the strong CP problem of QCD [34][35][36][37][38][39]. However, due to the shift symmetry of the axions, a non-trivial subleading potential is generated at the nonperturbative level, making them ideal inflaton candidates as well [37,38,[40][41][42][43].…”

“…The flatness of the potential is protected by a (shift) symmetry modelled after the QCD axion [5], although at different mass scales. The axion exhibits a shift symmetry that is perturbatively exact, but potentially broken by non-perturbative (instantonic) effects.…”

Natural (axionic) inflation [1] can accommodate sizeable primordial tensor modes but suffers from the necessity of trans-Planckian variations of the inflaton field. This problem can be solved via the mechanism of aligned axions [2], where the aligned axion spirals down in the potential of other axions. We elaborate on the mechanism in view of the recently reported observations of the BICEP2 collaboration [3].
