We present preliminary results on the possible effects that primordial magnetic fields can have for a warm inflation scenario, based on global supersymmetry, with a new-inflation-type potential. This work is motivated by two considerations: first, magnetic fields seem to be present in the universe on all scales, which rises the possibility that they could also permeate the early universe; second, the recent emergence of inflationary models where the inflaton is not assumed to be isolated but instead it is taken as an interacting field, even during the inflationary expansion. The effects of magnetic fields are included resorting to Schwinger proper time method.

We study the effects of primordial magnetic fields on the inflationary potential in the context of a warm inflation scenario. The model, based on global supersymmetry with a new-inflation-type potential and a coupling between the inflaton and a heavy intermediate superfield, is already known to preserve the flatness required for slow-roll conditions even after including thermal contributions. Here we show that the magnetic field makes the potential even flatter, retarding the transition and rendering it smoother.
We consider natural inflation in a warm inflation framework with a temperature-dependent dissipative coefficient $Gamma propto T^3$. Natural inflation can be compatible with the Planck 2018 results with such warm assistance. With no a priori assumpti ons on the dissipative effects magnitude, we find that the Planck results prefer a weak dissipative regime for our benchmark scale $f=5 M_{rm pl}$, which lies outside the $2sigma$ region in the cold case. The inflation starts in the cold regime and evolves with a growing thermal fluctuation that dominates over quantum fluctuation before the end of the inflation. The observed spectral tilt puts stringent constraints on the models parameter space. We find that $f< 1 M_{rm pl}$ is excluded. A possible origin of such dissipative coefficient from axion-like coupling to gauge fields and tests of the model are also discussed.
In this work we explore the effects that a possible primordial magnetic field can have on the inflaton effective potential, taking as the underlying model a warm inflation scenario, based on global supersymmetry with a new-inflation-type potential. T he decay scheme for the inflaton field is a two-step process of radiation production, where the inflaton couples to heavy intermediate superfields, which in turn interact with light particles. In this context, we consider that both sectors, heavy and light, are charged and work in the strong magnetic field approximation for the light fields. We find an analytical expression for the one-loop effective potential, for an arbitrary magnetic field strength, and show that the trend of the magnetic contribution is to make the potential flatter, preserving the conditions for a successful inflationary process.
It has been recently claimed that primordial magnetic fields could relieve the cosmological Hubble tension. We consider the impact of such fields on the formation of the first cosmological objects, mini-halos forming stars, for present-day field stre ngths in the range of $2times 10^{-12}$ - $2times 10^{-10}$ G. These values correspond to initial ratios of Alven velocity to the speed of sound of $v_a/c_sapprox 0.03 - 3$. We find that when $v_a/c_sll 1$, the effects are modest. However, when $v_asim c_s$, the starting time of the gravitational collapse is delayed and the duration extended as much as by $Delta$z = 2.5 in redshift. When $v_a > c_s$, the collapse is completely suppressed and the mini-halos continue to grow and are unlikely to collapse until reaching the atomic cooling limit. Employing current observational limits on primordial magnetic fields we conclude that inflationary produced primordial magnetic fields could have a significant impact on first star formation, whereas post-inflationary produced fields do not.
We study the generation of magnetic field in Higgs-inflation models where the Standard Model Higgs boson has a large coupling to the Ricci scalar. We couple the Higgs field to the Electromagnetic fields via a non- renormalizable dimension six operato r suppressed by the Planck scale in the Jordan frame. We show that during Higgs inflation magnetic fields with present value $10^{-6}$ Gauss and comoving coherence length of $100 kpc$ can be generated in the Einstein frame. The problem of large back-reaction which is generic in the usual inflation models of magneto-genesis is avoided as the back-reaction is suppressed by the large Higgs-curvature coupling.
