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…
We discuss a model which can generate scale-invariant helical magnetic fields on large scales ($\lesssim 1$Mpc) in the primordial universe. It is also shown that the electric conductivity becomes significant and terminates magnetogenesis…
The magnetic field plays an important role in every stage of the star-formation process from the collapse of the initial protostellar core to the star's arrival on the main sequence. Consequently, the goal of this science case is to explore…
We explore the possibility that matter bulk flows could generate the required vorticity in the electron-proton-photon plasma to source cosmic magnetic fields through the Harrison mechanism. We analyze the coupled set of perturbed Maxwell…

We propose a new mechanism for turbulent mean-field dynamo in which the magnetic fluctuations resulting from a small-scale dynamo drive the generation of large-scale magnetic fields. This is in stark contrast to the common idea that…
Most early Universe scenarios predict negligible magnetic fields on cosmological scales if they are unprocessed during subsequent expansion of the Universe. We present a new numerical treatment of the evolution of primordial fields and…
In this work we investigate the possibility of generation of primordial magnetic field in the early universe near the QCD phase transition epoch via the collapse of $Z(3)$ domains. The $Z(3)$ domain walls arise in the deconfined phase of…
We reconstruct the 3D structure of magnetic fields, which were seeded by density perturbations during the radiation dominated epoch of the Universe and later on were evolved by structure formation. To achieve this goal, we rely on three…
We propose that the overlapping shock fronts from young supernova remnants produce a locally unsteady, but globally steady large scale spiral shock front in spiral galaxies, where star formation and therefore massive star explosions…
We propose a new mechanism for magnetic field generation from inflation, by which strong magnetic fields can be generated on cosmological scales. These fields may be observable by cosmic microwave background radition measurements, and may…
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…
Generation of large-scale magnetic fields is studied in dilaton electromagnetism in noncommutative inflationary cosmology, taking into account the effects of the spacetime uncertainty principle motivated by string theory. We show that it is…
