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.

  1. Magnetic Catalysis and Fermion Mass Generation in de Sitter Spacetime

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In de Sitter space with a background magnetic field, the field catalyzes chiral symmetry breaking while Hubble curvature restores it, with a second-order phase boundary.

  2. Dark photon -- Assisted Primordial Magnetogenesis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Coupling dark photons to standard photons enables adequate primordial magnetogenesis without strong-coupling or backreaction issues.

  3. Chiral gravitational waves from multi-phase magnetogenesis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Multi-phase inflation with chiral vector interactions generates amplified primordial magnetic fields that induce a detectable circularly polarized gravitational-wave background.

  4. Inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The inflationary trispectrum of gauge fields from scalar and tensor exchanges is derived analytically, yielding beta^zeta_nl = (b^zeta_nl)^2 in the counter-collinear limit and growing flattened-limit signals.

  5. Inflationary magnetogenesis beyond slow-roll and its induced gravitational waves

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Ratra inflationary magnetogenesis model, a brief non-slow-roll phase amplifies the magnetic field power spectrum with maximal slope 4.75, and the induced gravitational wave background has a characteristic plate...

  6. Misalignment production of isotropized vector dark matter?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Kinetic-coupling misalignment of an isotropized multi-vector condensate cannot produce dark matter: non-Gaussianity and isocurvature constraints exclude the viable parameter space in both weak- and strong-mixing regimes.

  7. Symbiotic Magnetogenesis during Radiation Domination

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A symbiotic axion-dilaton system sources a moderately chiral dark U(1) magnetic field of astrophysically relevant strength during radiation domination through tachyonic amplification without fine-tuning.

  8. Inflation with vector fields revisited: non-Gaussianities

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In kinetically coupled vector inflation, the bispectrum in the large-h regime exhibits competing local and flattened non-Gaussian signals with distinct h scalings that distinguish vector-supported dynamics.

  9. Light nuclei under magnetic field and the lithium problem

    nucl-th 2025-09 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Magnetic fields linearly change the exponential decay rate of light-nucleus wave functions, which the authors argue could enhance low-energy fusion reactions and, at implausibly high field strengths, affect the Big Ba...

  10. The Magnetic Origin of Primordial Black Holes: A Viable Dark Matter Scenario

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Primordial black holes formed from magnetically induced density fluctuations could explain all dark matter, but only in a finely tuned parameter window.

  11. Magnetogenesis from Sawtooth Coupling: Gravitational Wave Probe of Reheating

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A sawtooth coupling active during reheating can generate blue-tilted magnetic fields whose secondary gravitational waves peak at nanohertz to millihertz frequencies.

  12. Massless limit of massive self-interacting vector fields

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For massive Proca fields with quartic self-interaction, the massless limit is not smooth: classical hyperbolicity loss persists at arbitrarily small mass, and the Vainshtein mechanism does not restore unitarity at sca...

  13. Influence of the Vacuum Polarization Effect on the Motion of Charged Particles in the Magnetic Field around a Schwarzschild Black Hole

    gr-qc 2019-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    If vacuum polarization non-minimally couples magnetic fields to gravity, charged particle trajectories around Schwarzschild black holes can shift from unbound to bound, especially near the horizon.
