Abstract

A possibility of formation of static dual scalar and pseudoscalar density wave condensates in dense quark matter is considered for the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model in an external magnetic field. Within a mean-field approximation, the effective potential of the theory is obtained and its minima are numerically studied; a phase diagram of the system is constructed. It is shown that the presence of a magnetic field favors the formation of spatially inhomogeneous condensate configurations at low temperatures and arbitrary nonzero values of the chemical potential.
