Abstract: (arXiv)
We study the possibility of evading astrophysical bounds on light pseudoscalars. We argue that the solar bounds can be evaded if we assume sufficiently strong self-coupling of the pseudoscalars. The required coupling do not conflict with any known experimental bounds. We also show that it is possible to find a coupling range such that the results of the recent PVLAS Experiment are not in conflict with any astrophysical bounds.
