Suppressed Magnetogenesis from Ultralight Dark Matter due to Finite Conductivity

Ramkishor Sharma, Samarth Majumdar, Divya Sachdeva

Recently, a mechanism for generating astrophysically relevant magnetic fields via ultralight pseudoscalar dark matter, through the coupling term in t…

Lattice simulations of axion-U(1) inflation: gravitational waves, magnetic fields, and scalar statistics

Ramkishor Sharma, Axel Brandenburg, Kandaswamy Subramanian +1

We numerically study axion-U(1) inflation, focusing on the regime where the coupling between axions and gauge fields results in significant backreaction from the amplified gauge fi…

Magnetogenesis from axion-SU(2) inflation

Axel Brandenburg, Oksana Iarygina, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis +1

We describe a novel proposal for inflationary magnetogenesis by identifying the non-Abelian sector of Spectator Chromo Natural Inflation (SCNI) with the sector…

Inverse Gertsenshtein effect as a probe of high-frequency gravitational waves

Yutong He, Sambit K. Giri, Ramkishor Sharma +2

We apply the inverse Gertsenshtein effect, i.e., the graviton-photon conversion in the presence of a magnetic field, to constrain high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs). Using…

Backreaction of axion-SU(2) dynamics during inflation

Oksana Iarygina, Evangelos I. Sfakianakis, Ramkishor Sharma +1

We consider the effects of backreaction on axion-SU(2) dynamics during inflation. We use the linear evolution equations for the gauge field modes and compute their backreaction on…
