Primordial magnetic fields constrained by CMB anisotropies and dynamo cosmology

Abstract

Magneto-curvature stresses could deform magnetic field lines and this would give rise to back reaction and restoring magnetic stresses [Tsagas, PRL (2001)]. Barrow et al [PRD (2008)] have shown in Friedman universe the expansion to be slow down in spatial section of negative Riemann curvatures. From Chicone et al [CMP (1997)] paper, proved that fast dynamos in compact 2D manifold implies negatively constant Riemannian curvature, here one applies the Barrow-Tsagas ideas to cosmic dynamos. Fast dynamo covariant stretching of Riemann slices of cosmic Lobachevsky plane is given. Inclusion of advection term on dynamo equations [Clarkson et al, MNRAS (2005)] is considered. In absence of advection a fast dynamo is also obtained. Viscous and restoring forces on stretching particles decrease, as magnetic rates increase. From COBE data (δBB≈10-5), one computes stretching δVyVy=1.5δBB≈1.5×10-5. Zeldovich et al has computed the maximum magnetic growth rate as γmax≈8.0×10-1t-1. From COBE data one computes a lower growth rate for the magnetic field as γCOBE≈6.0×10-6t-1, well-within Zeldovich et al estimate. Instead of the Harrison value B≈t4/3 one obtains the lower primordial field B≈10-6t which yields the B≈10-6G at the 1s Big Bang time.
