The magnetic-field–induced antiferromagnetic phase of the underdoped cuprates is studied within the t - t′ - J model. A magnetic field suppresses the pairing amplitude, which, in turn, may induce antiferromagnetism. We apply our theory to interpret the recently reported quantum oscillations in high magnetic field in ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.5 (Doiron-Leyraud N. et al., Nature, 447 (2007) 565) and propose that the total hole density abstracted from the oscillation period is reduced by 50% due to doubling of the unit cell.
