Using the Faddeev-Popov method an exact expression for the propagator of a relativistic spinning particle in a constant magnetic field is found. The conservation laws and the generators of the magnetic group are obtained in the path integral formalism. Both the relativistic and non-relativistic models are discussed in the planar case.

We use the Faddeev–Popov method to calculate explicitly the path integral propagator for a relativistic spinless charged particle in the presence of a constant magnetic field. We obtain the conservation laws in the path integral approach. We also establish the equivalence between the Faddeev–Popov method and the Fock–Schwinger proper time approach. Finally, after proposing a suitable regularization prescription for the non-relativistic problem, we obtain the Landau levels directly from the path integral result.

It has been shown how evaluation of matrix elements of the form <x| exp −iHt|y> using the quantum mechanical path-integral allows one to determine radiative corrections in quantum field theory without encountering loop momentum integrals. In this paper we show how this technique can be applied when there is a constant background magnetic field contributing to the “Hamiltonian” H.

The Green functions related to a Dirac particle in a constant magnetic field are calculated via two methods, global and local, by using the supersymmetric formalism of Fradkin and Gitman. The energy spectrum as well as the corresponding wave functions are extracted following these two approaches.
