We consider the possibility of generation of the seeds of primordial magnetic field on inflation and show that the effect of the back reaction of this field can be very important. Assuming that back reaction does not spoil inflation we find a rather strong restriction on the amplitude of the primordial seeds which could be generated on inflation. Namely, this amplitude recalculated to the present epoch cannot exceed $10^{-32}G$ in $Mpc$ scales. This field seems to be too small to be amplified to the observable values by galactic dynamo mechanism.

  1. Dark photon -- Assisted Primordial Magnetogenesis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Coupling dark photons to standard photons enables adequate primordial magnetogenesis without strong-coupling or backreaction issues.

  2. Axion Inflation from Heavy-Fermion One-Loop Effects

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    One-loop integration of a heavy fermion with inflaton-dependent mass in axion inflation generates localized gauge-field production and a detectable chiral gravitational-wave signal in the deci-hertz range.

  3. Chiral gravitational waves from multi-phase magnetogenesis

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Multi-phase inflation with chiral vector interactions generates amplified primordial magnetic fields that induce a detectable circularly polarized gravitational-wave background.

  4. Symbiotic Magnetogenesis during Radiation Domination

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A symbiotic axion-dilaton system sources a moderately chiral dark U(1) magnetic field of astrophysically relevant strength during radiation domination through tachyonic amplification without fine-tuning.

  5. Inflation with vector fields revisited: non-Gaussianities

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In kinetically coupled vector inflation, the bispectrum in the large-h regime exhibits competing local and flattened non-Gaussian signals with distinct h scalings that distinguish vector-supported dynamics.
