Primordial magnetic fields may account for all or part of the fields observed in galaxies. We consider the evolution of the magnetic fields created by pseudoscalar effects in the early universe. Such processes can create force-free fields of maximal helicity; we show that for such a field magnetic energy inverse cascades to larger scales than it would have solely by flux freezing and cosmic expansion. For fields generated at the electroweak phase transition, we find that the predicted wavelength today can in principle be as large as 10 kpc, and the field strength can be as large as 10^{-10} G.

Axion Inflation with a Massive Abelian Gauge Field
A massive Abelian gauge field axially coupled to the inflaton yields tachyonic production only for |ξ|>m/H, with sourced CMB curvature power suppressed as ~1/m̄²–1/m̄³ at fixed backreaction, allowing strong friction f...
