Quantum field theoretical structure of electrical conductivity of cold and dense fermionic matter in the presence of a magnetic field

We have gone through a detailed calculation of the two-point correlation function of vector currents at finite density and magnetic field by employing the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory and Schwinger's proper time formalism. With respect to the direction of external magnetic field, the parallel and perpendicular components of electric conductivity for the degenerate relativistic fermionic matter are obtained from the zero momentum limit of the current-current correlator, owing to Kubo formula. Our quantum field theoretical expressions and numerical estimations are compared with the same, obtained from the relaxation time approximation methods of kinetic theory and its Landau quantized extension, which may be called as classical and quantum results respectively. All the results are merged in the classical domain i.e. high density and low magnetic field region but in the remaining (quantum) domain, quantum results carry a quantized information like Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation along density and magnetic field axes. We have obtained completely new quantum field theoretical expression for perpendicular conductivity of degenerate relativistic fermionic matter. Interestingly, our quantum field theoretical calculation provide a new mathematical form of cyclotron frequency with respect to its classical definition, which might require more future research to interpret the phenomena.
