Magnetic fields, strings and cosmology
arXiv:astro-ph/0612378
Abstract
The main motivations and challenges related with the physics of large-scale magnetic fields are briefly analyzed. The interplay between large-scale magnetic fields and scalar CMB anisotropies is addressed with specific attention on recent progresses.
