Title: Dark matter minihalos from Primordial Magnetic fields

Abstract: Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) offer a simple explanation for the origin of galactic magnetic fields as well as of the purportedly detected magnetic fields in cosmic voids.
In the talk, I discuss how PMFs’ influence on dark matter perturbations in the early universe can provide a distinctive signal for their presence. I conclude by arguing how search for dark matter minihalos can potentially provide the most sensitive probe for PMFs.
