| contents | We propose a novel observational strategy for the detection of pseudoaxions, emerging as transient resonances tied explicitly to the evolution of internal geometry in string theory and brane-world cosmologies. Building upon our previous work identifying pseudoaxions as resulting from topologically transient cycles-pseudo-cycles-revealed by persistent homology, we detail how cosmological expansion and geometric flattening in compactified extra dimensions dynamically modulate pseudoaxion parameters. These modulations trigger resonant phenomena, distinct from standard axion scenarios, such as enhanced axion-graviton conversion and observable gravitational wave polarisation asymmetries. We explicitly describe how geometric transitions within Calabi-Yau manifolds and D-brane configurations determine these resonance conditions. Finally, we discuss the clear, experimentally distinguishable signatures these transient pseudoaxions produce, focusing on gravitational wave observations, and outline observational tests within current and future gravitational wave detectors. |
