Axiverse Strings Resolved
Abstract
Axiverse cosmic strings are resolved by non-perturbative string states with large tension. We show how, in some regions of moduli space, they dissolve into low-tension configurations that are fully captured by field-theoretic solitonic solutions, such as 't Hooft-Polyakov-like strings, allowing a post-inflationary cosmology within the original axiverse paradigm.
