Magnetic moment of electron at finite temperature is directly related to the modified electron mass in the background heat bath. Magnetic moment of electron gets modified at finite temperature also, when it couples with the magnetic field, through its temperature-dependent physical mass. We show that the second-order corrections to the magnetic moment of electron is a complicated function of temperature. We calculate the self-mass induced thermal contributions to the magnetic moment of electron, up to the two-loop level, for temperatures valid around the era of primordial nucleosynthesis. A comparison of thermal behavior of the magnetic moment is also quantitatively studied in detail, around the temperatures below and above the nucleosynthesis temperature.

Abundances of light nuclei formed during primordial nucleosynthesis are predicted by Standard Big Bang Model (SBBM). Here, we evaluate the second-order quantum electro dynamics (QED) corrections to the change in these parameters during primordial nucleosynthesis due to modifications to mass and coupling using finite temperature effects. These are the contributions from the dynamically generated masses for electrons and photons in the finite temperature background. Relative variations in neutron decay rate, total energy density of the universe, relative change in neutrino temperature etc. with two-loops corrections to electron mass, at the timescale when QED corrections were relevant, have been estimated.
