Green's functions under magnetic effects in a nontrivial topology

Abstract

We calculate the Bose and Dirac field propagators in a four-dimensional Euclidean space under a magnetic external field by using a hybrid version of the Ritus and Schwinger methods. We get both propagators explicitly in the coordinate and momentum domains without dimensional reduction. Through gauge transformations, we eliminate the translation non-invariant part of the propagators. Also, the Matsubara frequencies of the fields are obtained in a toroidal topology. The approach we consider in this paper has the advantage of taking into account thermal and finite-volume effects with several kinds of boundary conditions, in addition to considering all Landau levels simultaneously, in an analytical and tractable way.
