Comment on "More Axions from Strings''

2021 
We comment on a claim that axion strings show a long-term logarithmic increase in the number of Hubble lengths per Hubble volume [arXiv:2007.04990], thereby violating the standard "scaling" expectation of an O(1) constant. We demonstrate that the string density data presented in [arXiv:2007.04990] are consistent with standard scaling, at a string density consistent with that obtained by us [arXiv:1908.03522, arXiv:2102.07723] and other groups. A transient slow growth in Hubble lengths per Hubble volume towards its constant scaling value is explained by standard network modelling [arXiv:2102.07723].
