Abstract
Landau quantization of the pi energy bands of a carbon nanotube is cal culated within the tight-binding approximation. The energy bands do no t show explicit Landau levels, but they do have energy dispersion for all values of magnetic field. The energy bandwidth shows oscillations with a period that is scaled by a cross section of the unit cell of th e tubule, which is specified the the symmetry of the nanotube.
