Progress on cosmological magnetic fields

T Vachaspati - Reports on progress in physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
A variety of observations impose upper limits at the nano Gauss level on magnetic fields that
are coherent on inter-galactic scales while blazar observations indicate a lower bound∼ …

Cosmological magnetic fields: their generation, evolution and observation

R Durrer, A Neronov - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2013 - Springer
We review the possible mechanisms for the generation of cosmological magnetic fields,
discuss their evolution in an expanding Universe filled with the cosmic plasma and provide a …

Magnetic fields in the early universe

D Grasso, HR Rubinstein - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier

Universe. We start by providing the reader with a short overview of the current state of the art …

Dimensional reduction and catalysis of dynamical symmetry breaking by a magnetic field

VP Gusynin, VA Miransky, IA Shovkovy - Nuclear Physics B, 1996 - Elsevier
It is shown that a constant magnetic field in 3+ 1 and 2+ 1 dimensions is a strong catalyst of
dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, leading to the generation of a fermion dynamical mass …

Magnetic catalysis: a review

IA Shovkovy - Strongly Interacting Matter in Magnetic Fields, 2013 - Springer
The magnetic catalysis is broadly defined as an enhancement of dynamical symmetry
breaking by an external magnetic field. In this review, we discuss the underlying physics …

Primordial hypermagnetic fields and the triangle anomaly

M Giovannini, ME Shaposhnikov - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
The high-temperature plasma above the electroweak scale∼ 100 GeV may have contained
