A Possible Dynamical Effect of a Primordial Magnetic Field

Abstract

The possible existence of a primordial magnetic field in the universe has been previously investigated in many articles. Studies involving the influence of a magnetic field in the nucleosyntesis era, studies considering the effects in the formation of structures during the radiation era and the matter era have been considered. We here assume the existence of a primordial magnetic field and study its effect, in particular, in the formation of voids. The study is twofold: to put constraints on the strength of the magnetic field during the recombination era and to preview its effects on the formation of voids.
