Abstract
We discuss a possibility of the presence of a stable color ferromagnetic state in SU(2) gauge theory of quark matter; a color magnetic field is spontaneously generated due tothe gluon's dynamics. The state arises between the hadronic state and the color superconducting state when the density of quarks is varied. Although the state has been known to have unstable modes, we show that unstable modes form quantum Hall states, in which the instability disappears. Namely, the quark matter possesses a stable phase with the ferromagnetic state and the quantum Hall state of gluons.
