Effective Lagrangian of a fermion field in a nontrivial topology under magnetic effects

We have investigated a fermionic system from the perspective of an effective quantum field theory defined on a nontrivial topology in the presence of an external magnetic field. Using the proper-time representation, we obtained one-loop expressions for the corresponding effective Lagrangian, taking into account all Landau levels in the propagator. We also computed the significant boundary-induced contributions to the system’s magnetization. To verify the reliability of our results, we examined the limit of zero temperature and infinite spatial extent, which correctly reproduces the celebrated Schwinger result.
