Abstract

The low-temperature representation for the quark condensate in a weak magnetic field HH is known up to two-loop order. Remarkably, at one-loop order, the published series for the quark condensate in the chiral limit and HT2H \ll T^2 are inconsistent. Using an alternative representation for the kinematical Bose functions, we derive the series to arbitrary order in H/T2H/T^2, and also determine which of the published results is correct.
