Abstract
The QED effective action at finite temperature and density is calculated to all orders in an external homogeneous and time-independent magnetic field, in the weak coupling limit. The free energy, obtained explicitly, exhibits the expected de Haas–van Alphen oscillations. An effective coupling at finite temperature and density is derived in a closed form and is compared with renormalization group results.Keywords
