Abstract

The excitation of cosmological perturbations in an anisotropic cosmological model and in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field was studied, using the resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. We have shown that fast-magnetosonic modes, propagating normal to the magnetic field grow exponentially and saturated at high values, due to the resistivity. We also demonstrate that the jeans-like instabilities are enhanced inside a resistive and the formation of condensations formed within an anisotropic fluid influence the growing magnetosonic waves.
