  The inflaton field is assumed to possess electric charge. The effect of the
charge upon inflation is studied using a parameter \omega_0 that acts as a
measure of the quantity of inflaton present. It is shown that at the end of
inflation the charged inflaton should produce a fractal electromagnetic
structure, which could act as a seed for the development of macroscopic
galactic structures. Another consequence would be the presence nowadays of
residual electromagnetic fields that would encompass galaxies, clusters, and
larger structures.
