| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have found various possibilities in the early universe through observations of cosmic microwave background. They are consistent with the observations.
In special, I focused on multiple axion (pseudo scalar moduli) fields/particles with various masses. The fields originate from gauge fields in the string theory which is regarded as a candidate of unified theory of natural forces. Here, the gauge fields control forces in the string theory and hence should exist. The axions can provide energy enough to explain the cosmic accelerating expansion in the early universe. Further, a light axions can become the dark matter, which are seeds of galaxies including ours in the universe.
