Magnetic fields observed across cosmic scales are difficult to explain within conventional physics. A primordial origin is, thus, often assumed. While a nonminimal coupling of the inflaton with the electromagnetic field could theoretically…

The existence of large-scale anisotropy can not be ruled out by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Over the years, several models have been proposed in the context of anisotropic inflation to account for CMB's cold spot and…
We explore the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in the so-called moduli inflation. The hypercharge electromagnetic fields couple to not only a scalar field but also a pseudoscalar one, so that the conformal invariance of the…
The hot plasma above the electroweak scale contains (hyper) charged scalar particles which are coupled to Abelian gauge fields. Scalars may interact with gravity in a non-conformally invariant way and thus their fluctuations can be…
A model of inflation is presented where the inflaton field is a complex scalar field coupled to a U(1) gauge field. Due to the axial symmetry of the potential, the inflation is driven by the radial direction while the angular field is…
The simplest gauge invariant models of inflationary magnetogenesis are known to suffer from the problems of either large backreaction or strong coupling, which make it difficult to self-consistently achieve cosmic magnetic fields from…
We show that, during false vacuum inflation, a primordial magnetic field can be created, sufficiently strong to seed the galactic dynamo and generate the observed galactic magnetic fields. Considering the inflaton dominated regime, our…
We suggest a new mechanism for generation of large-scale magnetic field in the hot plasma of early universe which is based on the parity violation in weak interactions and depends neither on helicity of matter turbulence resulting in the…
