Abstract
On the basis of thermodynamic functions calculated in closed form, the magnetic properties of an equilibrium relativistic plasma in fields of arbitrary magnitude are studied in both the Boltzmann and quantum cases. It is shown that, for a relativistic degenerate gas of free electrons, the de Haas-van Alphen effect will remain.
