Cosmological magnetic fields induced by metric perturbations after inflation

We consider the amplification of electromagnetic quantum vacuum fluctuations induced by the presence of metric perturbations at the end of inflation. We obtain the amplitude of the corresponding magnetic fields on super-Hubble scales and compare it with the requirements of the galactic dynamo mechan...
