AI 中文摘要
超轻轴子的宇宙学演化通常涉及在质量倒数时间尺度上的快速振荡，这使得在背景和扰动层面上解析其动力学变得具有挑战性。在本研究中，我们基于有效场论（EFT）数值实现了一种新方法——这是首次能够重建轴子场固有的相对论性振荡。与其他现有技术相比，快速振荡的重建是EFT方法所独有的，该方法通过带有相对论修正的波函数表示来描述轴子有效场，而非采用有效的流体变量。从计算角度来看，我们的方法达到了高精度——与精确解的一致性高达亚百分比水平——同时相对于其他方法仍保持较快的速度。因此，它为未来宇宙学实验中的轴子搜寻开辟了高精度预测的新可能性。
英文摘要
The cosmological evolution of ultralight axions typically involves rapid oscillations on the timescale of the inverse mass, making it challenging to resolve the dynamics at both the background and perturbation levels. In this study, we numerically implement a novel approach to this problem based on an effective field theory (EFT) -- that is, for the first time, capable of reconstructing the relativistic oscillations intrinsic to the axion field. Compared to other available techniques, the reconstruction of the rapid oscillations is unique to the EFT approach, which describes the axion effective field through a wavefunction representation with relativistic corrections, rather than through effective fluid variables. From a computational standpoint, our approach archives a high level of accuracy -- up to a subpercent agreement with the exact solution -- while remaining relatively fast compared to alternative methods. As such, it opens up new possibilities for high-precision predictions for axion searches with future cosmological experiments.
