contents A consistent non-compact axion cosmology requires a non-periodic field, an effective field theory valid sufficiently above the inflationary scale, and a small non-QCD contribution to the potential that tilts the axionic vacuum landscape in order to trigger a timely domain-wall collapse. All conditions can be met by the dilaton -- the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneously broken approximate scale invariance.
