Axion monodromy inflation, trapping mechanisms and the swampland
Abstract We study the effects of particle production on the evolution of the inflaton field in an axion monodromy model with the goal of discovering in which situations the resulting dynamics will be consistent with the swampland constraints. In the presence of a modulated potential the evolving bac...
