abstract
In the standard model there are charges with abelian anomaly only (e.g. right-handed electron number) which are effectively conserved in the early universe until some time shortly before the electroweak scale. A state at finite chemical potential of such a charge, possibly arising due to asymmetries produced at the GUT scale, is unstable to the generation of hypercharge magnetic field. Quite large magnetic fields ($\sim 10^{22}$ gauss at $T\sim 100$ GeV with typical inhomogeneity scale $ \sim \frac{ 10^6}{T}$) can be generated. These fields may be of cosmological interest, potentially acting as seeds for amplification to larger scale magnetic fields through non-linear mechanisms. Previously derived bounds on exotic $B-L$ violating operators may also be evaded.

QED scattering amplitudes in a chiral medium with constant μ5 and b0 exhibit resonant behavior in multiple processes, with computed rates for 1→2 processes determining widths of fermion and photon states.
Generic Maxwell fields are obtained as the sum of two pull-backs from independent matter spaces, recovering the F wedge F invariant as mutual helicity between the two sectors.
Maximally helical primordial U(1)_Y magnetic fields can generate both intergalactic magnetic fields and baryon asymmetry; non-helical fields may work if Higgs dynamics compensate helicity loss to ≲10^{-9-10} precision during electroweak crossover.
During chiral plasma instability, excess energy from chiral asymmetry heats the plasma with δT ~ μ5²/T instead of fully building the helical magnetic field.
