We study the dependence of quark condensate $\Sigma$ on an external magnetic
field. For weak fields, it rises linearly with the field. Pion mass and residue
are also shifted so that the Gell-Mann - Oakes - Renner relation is satisfied.
In the strong field region, $\Sigma(H) \propto (eH)^{3/2}$.Comment: 13 pages LaTeX, 5 postscript files for figure
The low-energy QCD theorems are generalized in the presence of a constant magnetic field H. Two-loop approximation for the vacuum energy density in the framework of the chiral perturbation theory was obtained and the quark and gluon condensates were found as the functions of H.
In the first order of chiral perturbation theory the corrections to F π 0 and M π 0 in a magnetic field at finite temperature have been found. It was shown that they are shifted in such a manner that Gell-Mann -Oakes -Renner relation remains valid under these conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
