Scalar electrodynamics and primordial magnetic fields.
A primordial magnetic field may be generated during an inflationary period if conformal invariance is broken. We reexamine and generalize previous results about the magnetic field produced by couplings of the form RFμνF μν . We show that the amplitude of the magnetic field depends strongly on n. For adequate values of n the field produced can serve as seed for galactic magnetic fields. We also ...
متن کاملQuintessence without scalar fields
The issues of quintessence and cosmic acceleration can be discussed in the framework of theories which do not include necessarily scalar fields. It is possible to define pressure and energy density for new components considering effective theories derived from fundamental physics like the extended theories of gravity or simply generalizing the state equation of matter. Exact accelerated expandi...
متن کاملExtended Slow-Roll Conditions and Primordial Fluctuations: Multiple Scalar Fields and Generalized Gravity
As an extension of our previous study, we derive slow-roll conditions for multiple scalar fields which are non-minimally coupled with gravity and for generalized gravity theories of the form f(φ,R). We provide simple formulae of the spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters. Extended Slow-Roll Conditions and Primordial Fluctuations: Multiple Scalar Fie...
متن کاملProbing Primordial Magnetic Fields with the 21cm Fluctuations
Primordial magnetic fields possibly generated in the very early universe are one of the candidates for the origin of magnetic fields observed in many galaxies and galaxy clusters. After recombination, the dissipation process of the primordial magnetic fields increases the baryon temperature. The Lorentz force acts on the residual ions and electrons to generate density fluctuations. These effect...
متن کاملCorrelation of inflation-produced magnetic fields with scalar fluctuations
If the conformal invariance of electromagnetism is broken during inflation, then primordial magnetic fields may be produced. If this symmetry breaking is generated by the coupling between electromagnetism and a scalar field—e.g. the inflaton, curvaton, or Ricci scalar—then these magnetic fields may be correlated with primordial density perturbations, opening a new window to the study of nonGaus...
