We investigate microwave background anisotropies in the presence of primordial magnetic fields. We show that a homogeneous field with fixed direction can amplify vector perturbations. We calculate the correlations of $\delta T/T$ explicitly and show that a large scale coherent field induces correlations between $a_{\ell-1,m}$ and $a_{\ell+1,m}$. We discuss constraints on amplitude and spectrum of a primordial magnetic field imposed by observations of CMB anisotropies.

  1. The Status of Gravitational Vector Perturbations with Recent CMB Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Recent CMB datasets tighten 95% CL upper bounds on vector-mode amplitude r_v to 1.3e-4 (neutrino isocurvature), 6.8 (octupole), and 4.2 (sourced) at k=0.05 Mpc^-1, with no significant detection.
