%0 Journal Article %T Photon Propagation in a Magnetized Medium %A Sushan Konar %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1142/S0217751X02010509 %X Using the real time formalism of the finite temperature field theory we calculate the 1-loop polarization tensor in the presence of a background magnetic field in a medium. The expression is obtained to linear order in the background field strength. We discuss the Faraday rotation as well as the photon absorption probabilities in this context. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0111104v1
