Magnetic fields and gravitational waves from neutrino inhomogeneities
Creators
Description
The origin of cosmic magnetic fields is one of the outstanding open issues in modern cosmology. I discuss here as these fields could be generated during neutrino decoupling if large fluctuations of the lepton number were present at that time. A detectable background of gravitational waves may have been produced during the same process
