Primordial magnetic fields could explain the large-scale magnetic fields present in the Universe. Inflation and phase transitions in the early Universe could give rise to such fields with unique characteristics. We investigate the…

We show how the temperature-dependent chiral vortical effect can generate hypermagnetic fields and matter-antimatter asymmetries, in the symmetric phase of the early Universe, in the temperature range $100\mbox{GeV} \le T\le 10\mbox{TeV}$,…

Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) are magnetic fields generated during the early universe. These fields are thought to be the seeds of extragalactic magnetic fields. The origin of PMFs is not well known. Further, if they are indeed sources…

The origin of galactic and extra-galactic magnetic fields is an unsolved problem in modern cosmology. A possible scenario comes from the idea of these fields emerged from a small field, a seed, which was produced in the early universe…

The primordial magnetic field (PMF) can strongly affect the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and the formation of large scale structure. In this presentation, we calculate the CMB temperature anisotropies generated by…

We show that, under Braginskii magneto-hydrodynamics, anti-parallel gradients in average ion charge state and electron temperature can be unstable to the growth of self-generated magnetic fields. The instability is analogous to the…

Cosmological and astrophysical observations indicate the presence of magnetic field over all scales. In order to explain these magnetic fields, it is assumed that there exists a seed magnetic field that gets amplified by dynamos. These seed…
