Primordial Magnetogenesis
by Alejandra Kandus, Kerstin E. Kunze, Christos G. Tsagas
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 107
Description:
We review the question of primordial magnetic fields and consider the limits set on their strength by the current observational data. The various mechanisms of pre-recombination magnetogenesis are presented and their advantages and shortcomings are debated. We consider both classical and quantum scenarios, that operate within as well as outside the standard model, and also discuss how future observations could be used to decide whether the large-scale magnetic fields we see in the universe today are truly primordial or not.
