Understand

Many cosmological models rely on large couplings of axions to gauge fields.

Examples include theories of magnetogenesis, inflation on a steep potential, chiral gravitational waves, and chromonatural inflation.
Such theories require a mismatch between the axion field range and the mass scale appearing in the $a F \widetilde{F}$ coupling.
This mismatch suggests an underlying monodromy, with the axion winding around its fundamental period a large number of times.
