The 2 + 1 SU(3) Polyakov linear sigma model (PLSM) is used to investigate the respective influence of a finite volume and a magnetic field on the quark-hadron phase boundary in the plane of baryon chemical potential (μB) vs. temperature (T) of the QCD phase diagram. The calculated results indicate sizable shifts of the quark-hadron phase boundary to lower values of (μB and T) for increasing magnetic field strength, and an opposite shift to higher values of (μB and T) for decreasing system volume. Such shifts could have important implications for extraction of the thermodynamic properties of the QCD phase diagram from heavy ion data.
