The existence of large-scale magnetic fields in galaxies is well established, but there is no accepted mechanism for generating a primordial field which could grow into what is observed today. We discuss a model which attempts to account for the necessary primordial field by invoking a pseudo-Goldstone boson coupled to electromagnetism. The evolution of this boson during inflation generates a magnetic field; however, it seems difficult on rather general grounds to obtain fields of sufficient strength on astrophysically interesting scales.

Axion Inflation: Perturbative control in the strong backreaction regime
Axion inflation with strong gauge-field backreaction is generically non-perturbative for ξ ≳ 2.5, yet a newly found steady 'mild backreaction' phase at large β can stay perturbatively controlled.

Numerical Backreaction and Finite-Time Energy Transfer in Post-Recombination Magnetogenesis from Ultralight Dark Matter
Numerical simulations of post-recombination axion dark matter show that for dimensionless coupling α_eff ≳ 0.39, over half the dark-matter energy is transferred into gauge-field modes before back-reaction stops the resonance.
