We report measurements of the thermopower S and Nernst signal Syx in graphene in a magnetic field H. Both quantities show strong quantum oscillations vs. the gate voltage Vg. Our measurements for Landau Levels of index n=0 are in quantitative agreement with the edge-current model of Girvin and Jonson (GJ). The inferred off-diagonal thermoelectric conductivity αyx comes close to the quantum of Amps per Kelvin. At the Dirac point (n=0), however, the width of the peak in αyx is very narrow. We discuss features of the thermoelectric response at the Dirac point including the enhanced Nernst signal.
