THERMAL EFFECTS ON THE CATALYSIS BY A MAGNETIC FIELD

arXiv:hep-th/9504086 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.53.2252

Abstract

We show that the formation of condensates in the presence of a constant magnetic field in 2+1 dimensions is extremely unstable. It disappears as soon as a heat bath is introduced with or without a chemical potential. We point out some new nonanalytic behavior that develops in this system at finite temperature.
