Universal dynamo paradigm for solar activity, Higgs fields and disasters
Abstract
There is still a problem of a correct and accurate description of the dynamo and its uses in various fields of physics. To solve this problem, a special and universal representation of dynamo is proposed. The magnetic induction equation of dynamo is presented in the form of a Lienard relaxation oscillator with cubic nonlinear restoring force corresponding to the Mexican hat or champagne bottle potential which is used to determine the Higgs fields which are considered here in its general sense. Universal dynamo paradigm in field theory which can be used to describe disasters is proposed. Using solar activity as an example, it is shown how a dynamo induces a magnetic analogue of the Higgs fields with a broken symmetry of the magnetic field. Various dynamo modes are considered and different dynamo numbers are estimated. The dynamo effect can be used in field theory as an alternative to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Opportunities for the promotion of the new dynamo paradigm are discussed.
