Description
We study electromagnetic and topological properties of the QCD vacuum and quark-gluon plasma in the background of strong (hadronic scale) magnetic fields comparable to the ones taking place in heavy-ion collisions. Among the properties are the following ones: electric conductivity, magnetization and magnetic susceptibility, local CP-violation and induced anomalous currents, distribution of the topological charge density, chiral symmetry breaking and the chiral condensate. I will mainly present the results obtained within the lattice QCD simulations and, if there is time left, with the use of original analytic methods.
