A generation of magnetic fields from cosmological density perturbations is investigated. In the primordial plasma before cosmological recombination, all of the materials except dark matter in the universe exist in the form of photons,…

We consider models in which the (transverse) photon mass is non-zero during inflation and drops to zero non-adiabatically at the end of inflation. Through this process, vacuum fluctuations of the photon field are converted into physical,…

The origin of large magnetic fields in the Universe remains currently unknown. We investigate here a mechanism before recombination based on known physics. The source of the vorticity is due to the changes in the photon distribution…
