Description

This review lecture focuses on the role the Nambu-Goldstone bosons of some spontaneously broken accidental global symmetries may play in particle physics and cosmology. Beginning with the possibility
that the Higgs boson may be a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson, they may also include a QCD axion solving the strong
CP problem. Axion-like-particles are good candidates for dark matter and may play the role of an inflaton. The theoretical properties of Nambu-Goldstone bosons and their experimental signatures will be reviewed.
