Description
The moat regime has attracted considerable attention as a possible precursor to inhomogeneous phases in the QCD phase diagram at finite chemical potential. We investigate effects of a magnetic field and chiral anomaly that induce mixing between the scalar and pseudoscalar channels. By computing the effective action, we determine dispersion relations of the eigenmodes. Minima at finite momentum signal the presence of a moat regime.
