Abstract: We analyze the generation of seed magnetic fields during de Sitter inflation considering a non-invariant conformal term in the electromagnetic Lagrangian of the form $-frac14I(phi)F_{muu}widetilde{F}^{muu}$, where $I(phi)$ is a pseudoscalar function of a non-trivial background field $phi$. In particular, we consider a toy model, that could be realized owing to the coupling between the photon and either a (tachyonic) massive pseudoscalar field and a massless pseudoscalar field non-minimally coupled to gravity, where $I$ follows a simple power-law behavior $$ during inflation, while it is negligibly small subsequently. Here, $g$ is a positive dimensionless constant, $k$ the wavenumber, $eta$ the conformal time, and $$ a real positive number. We find that only when $$ and $0.1lesssimglesssim2$ astrophysically interesting fields can be produced as excitation of the vacuum, and that they are maximally helical.
