Description

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe and their generation mechanism is an open problem in cosmology. Their presence on all scales strengthens the idea of a primordial origin. If this is the case, a magnetic cosmological model has to be built. Here, we discuss the possible effects that primordial magnetic fields can have on a warm inflation scenario, in particular on the inflaton effective potential.
