Cosmological Magnetic Fields from Primordial Helical Seeds
Guenter Sigl
Abstract
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 apply it to weakly helical seeds as they occur in certain early Universe scenarios. We find that initial helicities not much larger than the baryon to photon number can lead to fields of about 10-13 Gauss with coherence scales slightly below a kilo-parsec today.
