Abstract

We in this paper study the generation of primordial magnetic field (PMF) in the non-singular bouncing scenario, through the coupling of the electromagnetic field to gravity. We adopt an electrodynamic model with a coupling coefficient as a function of the scale factor aa, i.e. f=1+(a/a)nf=1+(a/a_\star)^{-n}, with aa_\star and n>0n>0 being constants. The result implies that in this mechanism, the power spectrum of PMF today is always blue tilted on large scales from 11 Mpc to the Hubble length, and the observational constraints favor the ekpyrotic-bounce scenario. Furthermore, the back reaction of the energy density of PMF at the bouncing point yields theoretical constraints on the bouncing model.
