Description
Axion-dilaton models provide a well-motivated, minimal class of models for which kinetic interactions between multiple scalar fields and their predictions can be explored, in particular in late time cosmology. I will review this class of models and present the formalism we developed for studying kinetic interactions between rapidly oscillating axion fields and their dilaton partners on cosmological scales.
