2 Homogeneous vs Inhomogeneous No matter where they come from, PMFs could have left an imprint on the CMB anisotropy pattern in temperature and polarization. In case of an homogeneous PMF, our Universe would be described by the Bianchi metric. Barrow, Ferreira & Silk 1997 Inhomogenous PMFs (respecting homogeneity and isotropy globally) can source scalar, vector and tensor non-gaussian perturbations. CMB predictions in presence of a SB of PMFs has drawn a lot of interest as a non-standard cosmological model beyond the simplest ΛCDM rich of observational signatures (B-mode polarization from the vector contribution, Faraday rotation, non-gaussianities, effects due to non-zero helicity): most of these effects are larger at high multipoles, which have been characterized better and better by several experiments in the last years (ACBAR, SPT, ACT, Planck...). Affecting cosmological perturbations, PMF could leave an imprint also on the LSS.

3 Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field A SB of PMFs is modeled as a fully inhomogeneous component (i.e. does not affect the evolution of the Hubble parameter). The infinite conductivity limit is assumed (E is zero and the SB is comoving with the expansion of the universe). On considering B 2 at the same level of metric and density fluctuations, PMFs affects matter and metric perturbations in three ways: a. PMFs carry energy density and pressure and therefore gravitate at the level of perturbations. b. PMFs have anisotropic stress - differently from perfect fluids - which adds to the photon and neutrino ones (the photon anisotropic stress is negligible before the decoupling epoch). This anisotropic stress has scalar, vector and tensor component. c. PMFs induce a Lorentz force on baryons, which indirectly affects also photons during the tight coupling regime. The Lorentz force has a scalar and vector component. PMFs therefore lead to inhomogeneous solutions to scalar, vector and tensor metric and matter perturbations. These inhomogeneous solutions inherit the statistics of the source terms in B 2 which is non- Gaussian (more precisely a chi-square distribution) and this is an important point for the imprint on CMB non-gaussianities.

4 The relevant GR equations Einstein equations: G µ =8 G(T µ + T PMF µ ) Due to the infinite conductivity limit a. the induced electric field vanishes b. the magnetic field is frozen in: B(x, )= B(x) a 2 ( ) T 0PMF 0 = B = B(x) 2 8 a 4 T 0PMF i =0 T i PMF j = 1 4 a 4 B(x) 2 2 i j = i j B 3 + i j i i =0 B j (x)b i (x) As already stated, is a stiff source of the Einstein equations acting only at the level of perturbations (same treatment of a network of topological defects, a similar component which also does not respect the symmetries of isotropy and homogeneity locally). The presence of PMFs in a globally neutral plasma induces a Lorentz force on baryons: T PMF µ L(x, )= L(x) a 4 L i (x) = 1 4 apple B j (x)r j B i (x) 1 2 r i(b j (x)b j (x))

5 Metric Perturbations Inhomogeneous perturbations around homogeneous background: g µ (x, )=g (0) µ ( )+ g µ (x, ) T µ (x, )=T (0) µ ( )+ T µ (x, ) For simplicity flat spatial sections: g (0) µ ( ) =a 2 ( ) diag (, +, +, +) All except PMF have homogeneous EMT: non relativistic components (baryons, CDM), relativistic components (radiation, massless neutrinos), dark energy (only homogeneous if ). Metric perturbations have ten degrees of freedom (dofs) which can be divided in scalar, vector and tensor as for any symmetric tensor: A ij = A ij j ij 3 r2 Ā + A V ij + A T ij Trace Scalar potential for the traceless part Vector part Tensor part: traceless and transverse A V ij i A V j j A V i A Ti i i A Ti j =0 A V i Vector i A Vi =0

6 The ten metric perturbations (4 scalar, 4 vector and 2 tensor) are redundant and is convenient to keep separate the physical perturbations from the infinitesimal changes in the coordinate system (called gauge) transformations: x µ = x µ + µ (x) g µ = g µ r µ r µ The four dofs of the infinitesimal coordinate transformation corresponds to 2 scalar and 2 vector functions. The tensor part is not affected by gauge transformations and is directly gauge invariant. This split into scalar, vector and tensor components holds as well for the PMF anisotropic stress i (with the difference that is traceless). j

7 A stochastic background of PMF We assume the magnetic field satisfy in Fourier space: h i hb i (k)bj (k 0 )i = (2 )3 (k k 0 ) ( ij ˆkiˆkj )P S (k)+i ijlˆkl P A (k) 2 The power spectra are related to the symmetric part and to the helical part: hb i (k)b i (k 0 )i =(2 ) 3 (k k 0 )P S (k) h(r B) i (k)b i (k 0 )i =(2 ) 3 (k k 0 )P A (k) Above definition of helicity is gauge-invariant, similar to kinetic helicity. Other definitions of helicity are available as ha i (k)b i (k 0 )i with B = r A which is not gauge invariant unless the normal direction of the B field perpendicular to the surface decays sufficiently faster. With this latter definition, the helicity would be constant due to the large conductivity.

9 Power-spectra of the PMF EMT We assume the magnetic field satisfy (no helicity is considered, note the change in notation): B i (k)b j (k ) = (2 ) 3 (k k )( ij ˆkiˆkj ) P B(k) 2 Power spectrum damped at small scales larger than kd by radiation viscosity: P B (k) = A k k nb = 0 only for k < kd, where k is a pivot scale and k D is a damping scale. The spectra of the energy momentum components of the PMF are 4-point functions of the magnetic field. Example of energy density: h B (k) B(k 0 )i =(2 ) 3 (k k 0 ) B (k) 2 h B (k) B(k 0 )i/ Wick theorem = Z Z Z dp dqhb i (k)b i (k p)b j (k 0 )B j (k 0 q)i Z dp dqhb i (k)b j (k 0 )ihb i (k p)b j (k 0 q)i+ hb i (k)b j (k 0 q)ihb i (k p)b j (q)i

12 Integration scheme The region of integration is defined where P(k) is non-zero as: p<k D k p <k D The second condition introduces a k-dependence on the angular integration domain and the two allow the energy power spectrum to be non zero only for 0 < k < 2k D. Such conditions split the double integral (over γ and over p) in three parts depending on the γ and p lower and upper limit of integration. A sketch of the integration is thus the following: 1) 0 <k<k D : Z kd 0 k Z 1 Z kd Z 1 dp d + dp k 1 k D k 2 +p 2 k D 2 2kp d Z kd 0 k dpi a (p, k)+ Z kd k D k dpi b (p, k) 2) k D <k<2k D : Z kd k k D dp Z 1 k 2 +p 2 k D 2 2kp d Z kd k k D dpi c (p, k) k 2.5 FF, Paci & Paoletti c b a p Careful computation of angular integrals

16 k D = ( ) The damping scale The damping of the magnetic field is determined by the Alfven velocity and the Silk damping scale: 1 n B +5 B 2 n B +5 ng 2 nb +3 n B +5 h 1 n B +5 Mpc This allows us to fix the damping scale by other cosmological and magnetic parameters and vary only B and nb Subramanian & Barrow 1998 Jedamzik, Katalinic & Olinto 1998 Kahniashvili & Ratra 2006 Paoletti & FF, 2012 kd [Mpc -1 ] Posterior probability for kd [Mpc -1 ] obtained from a Monte Carlo Markov Chain on the six cosmological parameters, B and nb plus nuisance foreground parameters. This posterior probability is marginalized over the other parameters varied in the Monte Carlo.

17 Wavelengths relevant for CMB anisotropies are almost not affected by the quantitative details with which magnetic fields are damped by viscosity. B (k) 2 nb = Damping modeled as a sharp cut-off Damping modeled as a Gaussian smoothing k/kd Analytical integration feasible for generic spectral index only by a damping with a sharp cut-off. The methodology of computing the correlators analitically is therefore quite powerful for the investigation of probes for PMF on scales much smaller than those relevant for CMB.

38 Comparison of CMB generated by compensated and passive modes So far we have shown results based on initial conditions which satisfy the Einstein-Boltzmann system after neutrino decoupling and correspond to cosmological perturbations which are regular (these perturbation carry an infinitesimal curvature on long wavelength as for the so-called isocurvature modes) It has been argued that passive scalar and tensor fluctuations are generated at neutrino decoupling by the matching of pre-existing scalar and tensor fluctuations (which are characterized by modes which are singular and not regular before neutrino decoupling) which were not compensated by the free streaming neutrinos. These passive modes correspond to adiabatic scalar and tensor homogeneous solution of the Einstein-Boltzmann system with an amplitude fixed by the spectrum of the PMF R'R( B ) h ' (T ) B 3 2 B apple 5 ln + 1 B 8R apple 5 ln + 1 B 8R Shaw and Lewis 2010

40 The impact of helicity Ballardini, FF, Paoletti 2013 An helical component of a SB of PMF would open a new window on the physics of early Universe or in our understanding of turbulence. hb i (k)b j (k 0 )i = (2 )3 2 h i (k k 0 ) ( ij ˆkiˆkj )P S (k)+i ijlˆkl P A (k) PA contributes to all the PMF EMT Fourier correlations shown so far (parity even correlations).

41 A non-zero helical component generates also correlations which do not respect parity symmetry (parity odd). As an example consider the tensor part: A (T ) (k) = 4 (4 ) 5 Z apple d 3 p P S (p)p A ( k p )(1 + 2 ) + P A (p)p S ( k p ) (1 + 2 ) k 3 A (T ) (k) k/kd nb=-3/2,-1,0,1,2,3 from the solid to large dashed The role of exact computation of the angular part is emphasized in comparison to previous works.
