Search for Intergalactic Magnetic Fields and Implications
Abstract: The ongoing search for intergalactic magnetic fields using blazar observations suggests field strength in the 10^(-14) to 10^{-17} G range on tens of Mpc length scales. Such fields can have important implications for the early universe and also raises some puzzles.
