Description
The ground state of QCD in sufficiently strong magnetic fields and at moderate baryon densities was shown to carry a crystalline condensate of neutral pions: the chiral soliton lattice. As proved previously, this phase of matter is stable under thermal fluctuations. Recently, the effects of quantum fluctuations and finite temperature were calculated in detail within chiral perturbation theory. The obtained results on the QCD phase diagram for varying temperature, baryon chemical potential and magnetic field will be presented.
