We reconfirm the viability of a unified seed field scenario relating the cosmological baryon asymmetry and the origin of the protogalactic large-scale magnetic fields observed in astronomy. %R 10.1088/1475-7516/2011/11/048 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.3106 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2011/11/048 %P 048
