Abstract
Hydrogen recombination in the earlyUniverse in the presence of amagnetic field is studied. An equation for the recombination temperature in the presence of a magnetic field is obtained. The limiting cases of weak and strong magnetic fields are examined. A critical field above which the system being considered is in the atomic-hydrogen phase at any temperature is shown to exist. The relative shift of the recombination temperature in a magnetic field is estimated, and it is shown that this shift is small.
