In chiral perturbation theory, the QCD vacuum responds nonlocally to an inhomogeneous magnetic field, yielding parameter-free NLO predictions for the free energy, chiral condensate, and an induced vacuum current.

abstract
We study the formation of vacuum condensates in $2+1$ dimensional QED in the presence of inhomogeneous background magnetic fields. For a large class of magnetic fields, the condensate is shown to be proportional to the inhomogeneous magnetic field, in the large flux limit. This may be viewed as a {\it local} form of the {\it integrated} degeneracy-flux relation of Aharonov and Casher.

QCD Vacuum in an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field
In chiral perturbation theory, the QCD vacuum responds nonlocally to an inhomogeneous magnetic field, yielding parameter-free NLO predictions for the free energy, chiral condensate, and an induced vacuum current.
