Abstract

The spontaneous generation of uniform magnetic condensate in QED3QED_3 gives rise to ferromagnetic domain walls at the electroweak phase transition. These ferromagnetic domain walls are caracterized by vanishing effective surface energy density avoiding, thus, the domain wall problem. Moreover we find that the domain walls generate a magnetic field B1024GaussB \simeq 10^{24} Gauss at the electroweak scale which account for the seed field in the so called dynamo mechanism for the cosmological primordial magnetic field. We find that the annihilation processes of walls with size R105KmR \simeq 10^5 Km could release an energy of order 1052erg10^{52} erg indicating the invisible ferromagnetic walls as possible compact sources of Gamma Ray Bursts.
