Abstract

We discuss the Anderson localization of electromagnetic fields in the fluctuating plasma induced by the gravitational density perturbation before the recombination time of the Universe. Randomly distributed localized coherent electromagnetic fields emerge in the thermal equilibrium before the recombination time. We argue that the localized coherent electric fields eventually produce cosmological magnetic fields after the decoupling time.
