Abstract
We compute the effective action for stationary and spatially constant magnetic fields, when coupled anomalously to charge neutral fermions, by integrating out the fermions. From this the grand canonical partition function and potential of the fermions and fields are computed. This also takes care of magnetic field dependent vacuum corrections to the grand canonical potential. Possible applications to neutron stars are indicated.
