| Abstract : | Observations indicate a detectable amount of magnetic field at astrophysical and cosmological scales. This observed magnetic field can find its origin in the early Universe. If the inflationary background is considered, breaking conformal symmetry is required to generate a sufficient amount of magnetic field. Usually, conformal breaking is introduced by coupling between the electromagnetic field and the inflation field or by including higher derivative terms. We propose an Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach to unify these different approaches in the literature. We show that the generation of primordial magnetic fields requires two conditions: conformal invariance breaking and causal propagation.
