Possible splitting of deconfinement and chiral transitions in strong magnetic fields in QCD
arXiv:1011.5626
Abstract
We show that finite-temperature deconfinement and chiral transitions can split in a strong enough magnetic field. The splitting in critical temperatures of these transitions in a constant magnetic field of a typical LHC magnitude is of the order of 10 MeV. A new deconfined phase with broken chiral symmetry appears.
