In this Letter we reanalyse the question of the origin of magnetic fields during the electroweak phase transition. We show that their formation is intimately connected to some semiclassical configurations of the gauge fields, such as electroweak Z-strings and W-condensates. We describe the formation of these semiclassical configurations during a first order phase transition and argue that they might be generated also in the case of a second order phase transition. We suggest that the instability of electroweak strings does not imply the disappereance of the embedded magnetic field.

Impact of Primordial Magnetic Fields on the First-Order Electroweak Phase Transition
A primordial hypermagnetic field slows the first-order electroweak transition, forms Higgs vortices above g'B/m_W^2 ~ 3.63, and helical fields boost sphaleron rates and baryon asymmetry.
