Topological susceptibility and fourth cumulant in a uniform magnetic field

We study the topological susceptibility and fourth cumulant of the QCD vacuum in a background magnetic field (H) using three-flavor chiral perturbation theory (χPT) for arbitrary quark masses and n-flavor χPT with degenerate quark masses. We find that the enhancement by the magnetic field of the top...
