Ferromagnetism of quark liquid

Abstract

Usually it is believed that the Hartree-Fock state of quark matter is a Fermi gas state with no polarisation of spins. We examine the possibility of the polarised quark liquid interacting with the one-gluon-exchange interaction. It is suggested that the Hartree-Fock state shows a spontaneous magnetic instability at low densities through the same mechanism as the appearance of ferromagnetism in electron gas. Metastability of the polarised quark liquid is also discussed.
