Dynamo action at recombination epoch of open Friedmann universe spatial sections

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Chicone et al [Comm Math Phys (1997)] investigated existence of fast dynamos by analyzing the spectrum kinematic magnetic dynamo. In real non-degenerate branch of the spectrum, the kinematic dynamo operator lies on a compact Riemannian 2D space of constant negative curvature. Here, generalization of Marklund and Clarkson [MNRAS (2005)], general relativistic GR-MHD dynamo equation to include mean-field dynamos is obtained. In the absence of kinetic helicity, adiabatic constant γ=1/2γ={1/2} and gravitational colapse of negative Riemann curvature of spatial sections enhance dynamo effect δBB=2.6×10−1\frac{δB}{B}=2.6\times 10^{-1}. Critical time where linear dynamo effects breaks down de to curvature. At recombination time, COBE temperature anisotropies, implies that magnetic field growth rate is λ≈10−9yr−1λ{\approx{10}^{-9}yr^{-1}}. This places a bound on curvature till the recombination magnetic field is amplified to present value of B0=10−9GB_{0}=10^{-9}G, by dynamo action. At present epoch, negative curvature becomes constant and the Chicone et al result is shown to be valid in cosmology. Since negative curvature is non-constant, Hilbert theorem which forbiddes negative constant curvature surfaces embeddeding in R3\textbf{R}^{3} is bypassed.
