The electron mass operator in a strong magnetic field is calculated by summation of the leading log contributions in all orders of the perturbation theory. An influence of the strong field on the virtual photon polarization operator is taken into account. The contribution of higher Landau levels of virtual electrons, along with the ground Landau level, is shown to be essential in the leading log approximation.

Two-point one-loop fermionic amplitudes modifiled by a constant homogeneous magnetic fileld are studied. In addition to the amplitudes resulted after an insertion of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector fermionic currents, we calculate similar amplitudes with the tensor and (pseudo)scalar vertices. The crossed-field limit of these amplitudes is presented. The tensor current is a fermionic part of the Pauli Lagrangian relevant for the electromagnetic interaction of fermions through the anomalous magnetic moment and its contribution to the photon polarization operator is briefly discussed.

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.

Van de Hulst (Paper 64, Table 1) has marked optical polarization as a questionable or marginal source of information concerning magnetic field strengths. Rather than arguing about this–I should rate this method asq+-, or quarrelling about the term ‘model-sensitive results’, I wish to stress the historical point that as recently as two years ago there were still some who questioned that optical polarization was definitely due to magnetically-oriented interstellar particles.

Various methods of observing the galactic magnetic field are reviewed, and their results summarized. There is fair agreement about the direction of the magnetic field in the solar neighbourhood:l= 50° to 80°; the strength of the field in the disk is of the order of 10-5gauss.

Observations at various frequencies between 136 and 1400 MHz indicate a considerable amount of structure in the galactic disk. This result appears consistent both with measured polarization percentages and with considerations of the strength of the galactic magnetic field.
