Primordial Magnetic Field

The existence of a primordial magnetic field (PMF) would affect both the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the formation of the large scale structure(LSS). It also provides a plausible explanation for the disparity between observations and theoretical fits to the CMB power spectrum and the LSS. Here we report on calculations of not only the numerical power spectrum of the PMF, but also the correlations between the PMF power spectrum and the primary curvature perturbations.

Spinodal Instability

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that it is plausible to generate primordial magnetic seed fields via spinodal instability efficiently during cosmic inflation provided that a fast-roll stage is involved before the inflaton entering into the slow-roll phase. Moreover, the primordial magnetic field produced in such a mechanism can be used to constrain the low quadrupole moment of Cosmic Microwave Background.
