Inflation and late-time cosmic acceleration in non-minimal Maxwell-F(R) gravity and the generation of large-scale magnetic fields

Abstract: We study inflation and late-time acceleration in the expansion of the universe in non-minimal electromagnetism, in which the electromagnetic field couples to the scalar curvature function. It is shown that power-law inflation can be realized due to the non-minimal gravitational coupling of the electromagnetic field, and that large-scale magnetic fields can be generated due to the breaking of the conformal invariance of the electromagnetic field through its non-minimal gravitational coupling. Furthermore, it is… Show more

In such inflationary magnetogenesis scenarios, the magnetic fields are generically accompanied by the production of even larger electric fields.…”

“…In order to improve EN gravity, one may add a (cosmological) constant to its Lagrangian (Padmanabhan 2003;Frieman 2008). Moreover, we can regard other modifications of Einstein gravity such as Lovelock gravity (Lovelock 1971;Lovelock 1972;Deruelle 1990;, brane world cosmology (Demetrian 2006;Brax 2003;Gergely 2006;Amarilla 2010), scalar-tensor theories (Jordan 1955;Brans 1961;Cai 2007;Fujii 2003;Sotiriou 2006;Giddings 1993;Gregory 1997;Ling 2013;Klepac 2002;Ghodrati 2008) and F (R) gravity (Bamba 2008;Cognola 2008;Corda 2009;Sotiriou 2010;Nojiri 2011;Hendi 2012;Hendi 2014a;Momeni 2014 ).…”

“…In the evolution of the early Universe, such a kind of coupled terms may result in electromagnetic quantum fluctuations and lead to the inflation [8][9][10][11][12]. Recent investigations also show that these cross-terms have been used as attempts to explain the large scale magnetic fields observed in clusters of galaxies [13][14][15].…”
