An effectively two-dimensional representation of the Green electron function is used to determine the probability of the decay of a photon into a neutrino-antineutrino pair and the decay of a neutrino into a photon-neutrino pair in a strong magnetic field. The contribution of photon decay to the neutrino luminosity of pulsars is investigated. It is shown that for magnetic fields of about 10 to the 16th G, the photon decay reaction competes with the reaction whereby two neutrons decay into a neutron, proton, electron, and an antineutrino, and hence vacuum polarization effects may affect the cooling of neutron stars in the initial stage of their evolution.
