Abstract

Magnetic curvature effects, investigated by Barrow and Tsagas (BT) [Phys Rev D \textbf{77},(2008)],as a mechanism for magnetic field decay in open Friedmann universes (Λ<0{\Lambda}<0), are applied to dynamo geometric Ricci flows in 3D curved substrate in laboratory. By simple derivation, a covariant three-dimensional magnetic self-induced equation, presence of these curvature effects, indicates that de Sitter cosmological constant (Λ0{\Lambda}\ge{0}), leads to enhancement in the fast kinematic dynamo action which adds to stretching of plasma flows. From the magnetic growth rate, the strong shear case, anti-de Sitter case (Λ<0{\Lambda}<0) BT magnetic decaying fields are possible while for weak shear, fast dynamos are possible. The self-induced equation in Ricci flows is similar to the equation derived by BT in (3+1)(3+1)-spacetime continuum. Lyapunov-de Sitter metric is obtained from Ricci flow eigenvalue problem. In de Sitter analogue there is a decay rate of γΛ1035s2{\gamma}\approx{-{\Lambda}}\approx{-10^{-35}s^{-2}} from corresponding cosmological constant Λ{\Lambda}, showing that, even in the dynamo case, magnetic field growth is slower than de Sitter inflation, which strongly supports to BT result.
