In the effective four-dimensional supersymmetric theories derived from the superstring theories, we investigate a possible way to evade the cosmological bound ƒa≲1012GeV on the axion decay constant. A significant amount of entropy could be produced by the out-of-equilibrium decay of the Higgs field which is responsible for the breaking of the extra gauge symmetry at an intermediate mass scale MI. The appearance of such a Higgs fiield is a general feature of the superstring models. We find that if the gravitino mass m3 2∼1−102GeV and MI∼107−1010GeV, the axions are diluted efficiently by the entropy production, and ƒa∼ O (1016GeV ) will still be acceptable.
