abstract
We consider the possibility of generation of the seeds of primordial magnetic field on inflation and show that the effect of the back reaction of this field can be very important. Assuming that back reaction does not spoil inflation we find a rather strong restriction on the amplitude of the primordial seeds which could be generated on inflation. Namely, this amplitude recalculated to the present epoch cannot exceed $10^{-32}G$ in $Mpc$ scales. This field seems to be too small to be amplified to the observable values by galactic dynamo mechanism.

Multi-phase inflation with chiral vector interactions generates amplified primordial magnetic fields that induce a detectable circularly polarized gravitational-wave background.
One-loop integration of a heavy fermion with inflaton-dependent mass in axion inflation generates localized gauge-field production and a detectable chiral gravitational-wave signal in the deci-hertz range.
