Magnetogenesis, Variation of Gauge Couplings and Inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
The interplay among the possible variation of gauge coupling and the inflationary dynamics is investigated in a simplified toy model. Depending upon various parameters (scalar mass, curvature scale at the end of inflation and at the onset of the radiation epoch), the two-point function of the magnetic inhomogeneities grows during the de Sitter stage of expansion and, consequently, large scale magnetic fields are generated. The requirements coming from inflationary magnetogenesis are examined together with the theoretical constraints stemming from the explicit model of the evolution of the gauge coupling.

Inflationary magnetogenesis from dynamical gauge couplings
The evolution of the gauge coupling is modelled using a scalar degree of freedom whose homogeneous and inhomogeneous modes evolve from an ordinary inflationary phase to the subsequent epochs. Depending upon various parameters (scalar mass, curvature scale at the end of inflation and at the onset of the radiation epoch), the two-point function of the magnetic inhomogeneities grows during the de ...
متن کاملMagnetogenesis and the primordial non-gaussianity
The primordial density fluctuation inevitably couples to all forms of matter via loop corrections and depends on the ambient conditions while inflation was ongoing. This gives us an opportunity to observe processes which were in progress while the universe was inflating, provided they were sufficiently dramatic to overcome suppression by powers of (H/MP) 2 ≈ 10, where H is the Hubble scale duri...
متن کاملOn the Magnetic Evolution in Friedmann Universes and the Question of Cosmic Magnetogenesis
We analyse the evolution of primordial magnetic fields in spatially flat Friedmann universes and reconsider the belief that, after inflation, these fields decay adiabatically on all scales. Without abandoning classical electromagnetism or standard cosmology, we demonstrate that this is not necessarily the case for superhorizon-sized magnetic fields. The underlying reason for this is causality, ...
متن کاملCurvature perturbations and magnetogenesis from the electroweak gauge bosons
Observations provide strong evidence that the Universe underwent a phase of inflation in its early history. One of the most important consequences of inflation is the generation of the curvature perturbation, which is necessary for structure formation and is observed through the CMB anisotropy [1]. Quantum fluctuations of suitable fields give rise to a flat superhorizon spectrum of perturbation...
متن کاملHybrid inflation with running inflaton mass
We realize and study a model of hybrid inflation in the context of softly broken supersymmetry. The inflaton is taken to be a flat direction in the superfield space and, due to unsuppressed couplings, its soft supersymmetry breaking mass runs with scale. Both gauge and Yukawa couplings are taken into account and different inflationary scenarios are investigated depending on the relative strengh...
