Ferromagnetic Vacuum and Galactic Magnetic Fields
arXiv:hep-ph/9402295 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(94)90760-9
Abstract
Non-abelian gauge theories may have a ferromagnet-like vacuum with a non-zero magnetic field, which also exists at finite temperature. We argue that the formation of the ferromagnet-like vacuum at GUT scales gives rise to a Maxwell magnetic field imprinted on the comoving plasma, and that it is energetically favourable to align the field in different correlation volumes. This results in a coherent magnetic field pertaining the whole universe, with a magnitude $B_{now}\simeq 10^{-14}\G$, which is of the correct size to serve as the seed field for the galactic dynamo.
