%AB: maybe here something needs to be said about the viability of a vector %AB: potential that grows linearly to infinity. %Sayan: This is a very good point. I need to think more about this. %Sayan: Maybe Shinji has something to say about this. %Sayan: On second thoughts, the energy in the electric fields dilutes the same %Sayan: way as that for magnetic fields, as seen from eq. (6), and so this is not %Sayan: a problem, in my opinion. %Sayan: Also, for A_x, there is a monotonically increasing function of time in %Sayan: the denominator, so I'm not sure it increases linearly. %AB: I think we should discuss this in a specific email thread. %AB: Tina thinks this is not a problem because of a finite horizon, %AB: but I can't see how this addresses the problem. %Sayan: I think what Tina means is that since there is a finite horizon %Sayan: there is an upper limit on t. %Sayan: But then again, we take a time derivative of the potential to get the %Sayan: electric field. %Sayan: But it is important to keep this in mind and discuss in a separate thread, %Sayan: since I want to be sure that I am not misunderstanding your concern. %AB: There is an important question: is it ok to treat a uniform cosmological field %AB: like a constant in a periodic box? In that case, that part of A is not periodic. %AB: If the A in this new solution is different, can't we just calculate this A? %Sayan: Let's get back to this later.
