abstract
We study the thermodynamics of degenerate electron and charged vector boson gases in very intense magnetic fields. In degenerate conditions of the electron gas, the pressure transverse to the magnetic field $B$ may vanish, leading to a transverse collapse. For W-bosons an instability arises because the magnetization diverges at the critical field B_c = M_W^2/e. If the magnetic field is self-consistently maintained, the maximum value it can take is of the order of $2B_c/3$, but in any case the system becomes unstable and collapses.

Below the Schwinger critical magnetic field value, quantum vacuum and gamma-ray bursts delay
The authors claim a 2.4-hour GRB delay from a 10^6 Tesla intergalactic magnetic field, but the computation actually yields about 100 days, and the assumed field is many orders of magnitude stronger than observed.
