Abstract

Possibility of spontaneous magnetization in QCD and magnetic properties of quark matter is discussed by evaluating the magnetic susceptibility within Fermi-liquid theory. The screening effects for gluons are taken into account to figure out the specific properties of the magnetic transition in gauge theories. It is shown that the static screening effect in terms of the Debye mass does not necessarily work against the magnetic instability; it promotes the instability, depending on the coupling constant and the number of flavors.
