Abstract
We present and discuss, at a general level, new mathematical results on the spatial non-uniformity of thermal quantum fields coupled minimally to stat ic background electromagnetic potentials. Two distinct examples are worked through in some detail: uniform(parallel and perpendicular) background elec tric and magnetic fields coupled to a thermal quantum scalar field.
