Abstract

We introduce a new non-Abelian force axicolor which confines between $10^{10}$ and $10^{12}$ GeV. By choosing appropriate axiquarks, we build a realistic dynamical axion model. This model predicts a heavy quark q. The dynamical axion model does not involve the naturalness problem of scalar mass. Two well-known cosmological problems, the domain-wall problem and the energy density problem of heavy composite particles, are not present in this model. We also discuss domain walls with two θ’s.

We include U(1) $_{A}$ which is spoiled by the axicolor anomaly, because it is important for the analysis of the domain-wall problem even though its breaking by fermion condensate (5) may not give a pseudo-Goldstone boson.
