3 Idea of discrete clockwork mechanism

4 heavy axion direction KNP mechanism [Kim, Nilles, Peloso 04] Proposal to obtain a trans-planckian field excursion in the context of natural inflation! " +Λ $ cos :, = [0,] Introducing two axions with (Λ Λ)! " +! " +Λ $ cos 3 +Λ $ cos 3 light axion direction Integrating out a heavy mode: (1+1/9)! " +Λ $ cos 3 :, = 1+1/9 [0,3 1+1/9]

5 Extending KNP mechanism Adding one more axion : extending the axion period Λ $ cos(3 ) Λ $ cos(3 )+Λ $ cos(3 ) , = 1+1/9 [0,3 1+1/9], = 1+1/9+1/81 3 [0,3 1+1/9+1/81]

6 Clockwork axion [Choi, Kim, Yun 14] 89 Considering N+1 axions with 67 Λ $ cos(3 6 6: ) =>> =< 8 1+< 9 +, = 1+1/9 +1/9 8 8 [0, /9 +1/9 8 ] Exponential extending of the field excursion Exponential localization of the lightest mode at the last site 6 = < 6 A, =>> +heavy modes C D > EFF,@ A

11 For the CW zero mode * Exponentially large (small) axion field period * Exponentially small U(1) unit charge Applications * Couplings of the lightest mode to operators at two different sites are hierarchically different Inflation, relaxion, QCD axion [Choi, Kim, Yun 14] [Higaki, Jeong, Kitajima, Takahashi 14,15,16] [Choi, Im 15] [Farina, Pappadopulo, Rompineve, Tesi 16] [Kaplan, Rattazzi 15] [Kehagias, Riotto 17] [Park, CSS 18] Gravity [Giudice, McCullough 16] Neutrino mass [Giudice, McCullough 16] [Hambye, Teresi, Tytgat 16] [Park, CSS 17] Flavors, etc.

However the global structure is quite different Continuum clockwork axion is an example to provide a nontrivial wave-function Inflation, baryogenesis and dark matter could be related with rolling axion with deformed potential by CCW mechanism
