Abstract

The existence of a primordial magnetic field (PMF) would affect both the temperature and polarization anisotropics of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It also provides a plausible explanation for the disparity between observations and theoretical fits to the CMB power spectrum. Here we report on calculations of not only the numerical power spectrum of the PMF, but also the correlations between the PMF power spectrum and the primary curvature perturbations.
