In this thesis, second-order gauge-invariant perturbation theory is used to develop a selfconsistent framework in which the non-linear coupling between inflationary gravitational waves and a large-scale magnetic field is investigated, as means of amplifying the field to within the strength limits required to support the galactic dynamo. For the purpose of performing an entirely gauge-invariant analysis, the seed field and the gravitational wave spectrum are treated as small perturbations of a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background. 2014-08-13T20:03:07Z 2014-08-13T20:03:07Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6506 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
