Abstract
The problem of photon propagation in a medium in presence of a strong magnetic field in the frame of quantum electrodynamics is discussed in the present paper, based on previous literature in this area. The breaking of the spatial symmetry by the magnetic field determine the existence of a set of basic vectors and tensors which must satisfy the gauge and CPT invariance of quantum electrodynamics. The charge symmetric and non-symmetric cases are discussed. In the second case the Faraday effect is produced. A chiral current arises, associated to a pseudovector eigenvector ofthe polarization operator (due to the breaking of the spatial symmetry by the external magnetic field), related to the so-called axial anomaly. The path integrals and functional derivation are widely used to obtain the self-energy and vertex operators, and the Dyson equations. The inadequate introduction of a chiral chemical potential in the standard model is discussed for the Weinberg-Salam model for electroweak interactions.
期刊介绍：
The Revista Mexicana de Física (Rev. Mex. Fis.) publishes original papers of interest to our readers from the physical science com unity. Language may be English or Spanish, however, given the nature of our readers, English is recommended. Articles are classified as follows:
Research. Articles reporting original results in physical science.
Instrumentation. Articles reporting original contributions on design and construction of scientific instruments. They should present new instruments and techniques oriented to physical science problems solutions. They must also report measurements performed with the described instrument.
Reviews. Critical surveys of specific physical science topics in which recent published information is analyzed and discussed. They should be accessible to physics graduate students and non specialists, and provide valuable bibliography to the specialist.
Comments. Short papers (four pages maximum) that assess critically papers by others authors previously published in the Revista Mexicana de Física. A comment should state clearly to which paper it refers.
