Abstract

We show that in the spacetime dominated by a cosmological constant, given by de Sitter metric, a seed magnetic field can be generated in an ambient plasma (in a state of no magnetic field) by a general-relativistic battery. This cosmological battery depends on the interaction of spacetime curvature with inhomogeneous plasma thermodynamics.
