Generation of large-scale magnetic fields in inflationary cosmology is studied in teleparallelism, where instead of the scalar curvature in general relativity, the torsion scalar describes the gravity theory. In particular, we investigate a…
The evolution of the gauge coupling is modelled using a scalar degree of freedom whose homogeneous and inhomogeneous modes evolve from an ordinary inflationary phase to the subsequent epochs. Depending upon various parameters (scalar mass,…
