Abstract

In this work corrections to the usual flavor SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio coupling due to a weak external magnetic field are calculated by considering quark polarization in a (dressed) gluon exchange mechanism for quark interactions. The quark field is splitted into two components, one that condenses and another one that is a background field for interacting quarks, being the former integrated out. The resulting determinant is expanded for relatively large quark mass and small magnetic field, (eB0/M2)<1(eB_0/{M^*}^2)<1 by resolving magnetic field dependent low energy quark effective interactions. Besides the corrections for the NJL and vector NJL effective couplings, different B0B_0-dependent effective couplings that break isospin and chiral symmetry emerge.
