Abstract

In type IIB fibre inflation models the inflation is a Kähler modulus which is kinetically coupled to the corresponding axion. In this setup the curvature of the field space induces tachyonic isocurvature perturbations normal to the background inflationary trajectory. However we argue that the associated instability is unphysical since it is due to the use of ill-defined entropy variables. In fact, upon using the correct relative entropy perturbation, we show that in fibre inflation axionic isocurvature perturbations decay during inflation and the dynamics is essentially single-field.
