Abstract

The spontaneous vacuum magnetization at finite temperature is investigated in SU(2) gluodynamics within a consistent effective potential approach including the one-loop and the correlation correction contributions. To evaluate the latter ones the high temperature limits of the polarization operators of charged and neutral gluon fields in a covariantly constant magnetic field and at high temperature are calculated.The radiation mass squared of charged gluons is found to be positive. It is shown that the ferromagnetic vacuum state having a field strength of order (gH)1/2g4/3T(gH)^{1/2} \sim g^{4/3} T is spontaneously generated at high temperature. The vacuum stability and some applications of the results obtained are discussed.
