Magnetic helicity and cosmological magnetic field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic helicity has paramount significance in nonlinear saturation of galactic dynamo. We argue that the magnetic helicity conservation is violated at the lepton stage in the evolution of early Universe. As a result, a cosmological magnetic field which can be a seed for the galactic dynamo obtains from the beginning a substantial magnetic helicity which has to be taken into account in the magnetic helicity balance at the later stage of galactic dynamo.

Effects of Cosmological Magnetic Helicity on the CMB
In this talk I present a short review of primordial magnetic helicity effects on Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies. These effects allow us to test for cosmological magnetic helicity, however, very accurate CMB fluctuation data is required. This scheme for magnetic helicity detection is valid only for a cosmological magnetic field with a present amplitud...
متن کاملEstimate of the primordial magnetic field helicity.
Electroweak baryogenesis proceeds via changes in the non-Abelian Chern-Simons number. It is argued that these changes generate a primordial magnetic field with left-handed helicity. The helicity density of the primordial magnetic field today is then estimated to be given by approximately 10(2)n(b), where n(b) approximately 10(-6)/cm(3) is the present cosmological baryon number density. With cer...
متن کاملCosmological Magnetic Fields from Primordial Helicity
Primordial magnetic fields may account for all or part of the fields observed in galaxies. We consider the evolution of the magnetic fields created by pseudoscalar effects in the early universe. Such processes can create force-free fields of maximal helicity; we show that for such a field magnetic energy inverse cascades to larger scales than it would have solely by flux freezing and cosmic exp...
متن کاملLarge-scale magnetic field generation by alpha effect driven by collective neutrino-plasma interaction.
We suggest a new mechanism for the generation of a large-scale magnetic field in the hot plasma of the early Universe which is based on parity violation in weak interactions and depends neither on the helicity of matter turbulence resulting in the standard alpha effect nor on general rotation. The mechanism can result in a self-excitation of an (almost) uniform cosmological magnetic field.
متن کاملPrimordial magnetic fields and CP violation in the sky
It has been argued that electroweak baryogenesis generates a left-handed primordial magnetic field. The helicity density of the primordial magnetic field today is estimated to be ∼ 10nb where nb ∼ 10 −6 /cm is the present cosmological baryon number density. With certain assumptions about the inverse cascade the field strength at recombination is ∼ 10 G on a coherence scale ∼ 10 pc. Here I discu...
