Primordial magnetic fields and nonlinear electrodynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
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 description of reheating and the subsequent radiation dominated stage are unaltered. The nonlinear regime of electrodynamics is described by lagrangians having a power law dependence on one of the invariants of the electromagnetic field. It is found that there is a range of parameters for which primordial magnetic fields of cosmologically interesting strengths can be created.

Cosmological Magnetic Fields by Parametric Resonance?
We investigate the possibility that electromagnetic fluctuations are amplified in expanding universe by parametric resonance, during the oscillatory regime of a scalar field to which they are coupled. We consider scalar electrodynamics and we find that electromagnetic fluctuations undergo exponential instabilities. This mechanism could have some relevance for the problem of large scale primordi...
متن کاملScalar 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 کاملPrimordial spectrum of gauge fields from inflation
We show that conformal invariance of gauge fields is naturally broken in inflation, having as a consequence amplification of gauge fields. The resulting spectrum of the field strength is approximately Bl ∝ l, where l is the relevant coherence scale. One realisation of our scenario is scalar electrodynamics with a scalar whose mass is large enough to evade observational constraints – the obvious...
متن کاملGreen dyadic for the Proca fields.
The dyadic Green functions for the Proca fields in free space are derived to include singular terms. Both the electric and magnetic types will be obtained with the results reduced back to those for the Maxwell fields in the limit of zero photon mass. Moreover, the singular terms are identical in both massless and massive electrodynamics. As an illustration, the results are applied to obtain the...
متن کاملCosmic Rotation Axis, Birefrigence and Axions to detect Primordial torsion fields
Nodland Ralston (PRL,1997) investigated the cosmological anisotropy of electromagnetic fields.In this paper we show that it is possible obtain a torsion correction to Nodland-Ralston action starting from the massive Proca electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime and performing the minimal coupling with torsion.We end up with an action which contains the Nodland Ralston action without breaking the...
