On primordial black holes from rapid turns in two-field models

L Anguelova - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org

Cosmic acceleration and turns in the Swampland

J Freigang, D Lüst, GE Nian… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

Constraints on early dark energy from the axion weak gravity conjecture

T Rudelius - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A popular proposal for resolving the Hubble tension involves an early phase of dark energy,
driven by an axion field with a periodic potential. In this paper, we argue that these models …
