The possibility of forming static dual scalar and pseudo-scalar density wave condensates in dense quark matter is considered for the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in an external magnetic field. Within a mean-field approximation, the effective potential of the theory is obtained and its extrema are numerically studied and a phase diagram of the system is constructed. It is shown that the presence of a magnetic field favors the formation of spatially inhomogeneous condensate configurations at low temperatures.
