Abstract

The inflaton field is assumed to possess electric charge. The effect of the charge upon inflation is studied using a parameter ω0 that acts as a measure of the quantity of inflaton present. It is shown that at the end of inflation the charged inflaton should produce a fractal electromagnetic structure, which could act as a seed for the development of macroscopic galactic structures. Another consequence would be the presence nowadays of residual electromagnetic fields that would encompass galaxies, clusters, and larger structures.
