Abstract
We use the Polyakov loop coupled quark-meson model to approximate low energy QCD and present results for the chiral and deconfinement transitions in the presence of a constant magnetic background B at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential μ B . We investigate effects of various gluonic potentials on the deconfinement transition with and without a fermionic backreaction at finite B. Additionally we investigate the effect of the Polyakov loop on the chiral phase transition, finding that magnetic catalysis at low μ B is present, but weakened by the Polyakov loop.
