Magnetogenesis in cyclical Universe
• Physics
Classical and Quantum Gravity
• 2018
We propose a simple solution to the magnetogenesis problem based on cyclic cosmology. It is demonstrated that magnetic fields, of sufficient strengths to account for the present observational bounds,
Electric-magnetic duality and the conditions of inflationary magnetogenesis
The magnetogenesis scenarios triggered by the early variation of the gauge coupling are critically analyzed. In the absence of sources, it is shown that the electric power spectra can be explicitly
Fluctuations of inflationary magnetogenesis
This analysis aims at exploring what can be said about the growth rate of magnetized inhomogeneities under two concurrent hypotheses: a phase of quasi-de Sitter dynamics driven by a single inflaton
Inflationary magnetogenesis without the strong coupling problem
• Physics
• 2013
The simplest gauge invariant models of inflationary magnetogenesis are known to suffer from the problems of either large backreaction or strong coupling, which make it difficult to self-consistently
Baryogenesis, magnetogenesis and the strength of anomalous interactions
The production of the hypermagnetic gyrotropy is investigated under the assumption that the gauge coupling smoothly evolves during a quasi-de Sitter phase and then flattens out in the radiation epoch
Bootstrapping from inflationary magnetogenesis to CMB initial conditions
The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background are analyzed under the hypothesis that the same inflationary seed accounting for protogalactic magnetism also affects
Symmetries of inflationary magnetogenesis and the plasma initial conditions
As soon as the geometry expands quasi-exponentially the plasma sources are customarily tuned to zero as if the duration of the inflationary phase was immaterial for the gauge field fluctuations at
Parameter dependence of magnetized CMB observables
Predecoupling magnetic fields affect the scalar modes of the geometry and produce observable effects which can be constrained also through the use of current (as opposed to forthcoming) data stemming
Inflationary susceptibilities, duality, and large-scale magnetic field generation
We investigate what can be said about the interaction of scalar fields with Abelian gauge fields during a quasi-de Sitter phase of expansion and under the assumption that the electric and the

Semi-analytical approach to magnetized temperature autocorrelations
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature autocorrelations, induced by a magnetized adiabatic mode of curvature inhomogeneities, are computed with semi-analytical methods. As suggested by the

▪ Abstract We discuss current observational and theoretical knowledge of magnetic fields, especially the large-scale structure in the disks and halos of spiral galaxies. Among other topics, we
Primordial magnetic fields and CMB anisotropies
Possible signatures of primordial magnetic fields on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies are reviewed. The signals that could be searched for include
Transfer matrices for magnetized CMB anisotropies
Large-scale magnetic fields can affect scalar cosmological perturbations whose evolution is described in the conformally Newtonian gauge and within the tight coupling approximation. The magnetized

The high-temperature plasma above the electroweak scale $\ensuremath{\sim}100\mathrm{GeV}$ may have contained a primordial hypercharge magnetic field whose anomalous coupling to the fermions induces
Primordial magnetic fields and nonlinear electrodynamics
The creation of large scale magnetic fields is studied in an inflationary universe where electrodynamics is assumed to be nonlinear. After inflation ends electrodynamics becomes linear and thus the

At finite hyperconductivity and finite fermionic density the flux lines of long range hypermagnetic fields may not have a topologically trivial structure. The combined evolution of the chemical

Topologically non-trivial configurations of the hypermagnetic flux lines lead to the formation of hypermagnetic knots (HK) whose decay might seed the Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe (BAU).HK can be

Astrophysical objects with negligible resistivity are often threaded by large scale magnetic fields. The generation of these fields is somewhat mysterious, since a magnetic field in a perfectly
