The problem
The aim of the work is investigation of the Polyakov loop (PL)
spatial structure in presence of external Abelian chromomagnetic
eld in deconnement phase.
The distribution of the PL along the eld direction only is
studied.
The investigation is performed in frames of the pure SU(2) 4D
lattice gauge theory.

Conclusions
1
Obtained that PL has a non-trivial structure both in presence
of external eld and in its absence
2
The size of the domains grows with increasing of the
applied eld
3
The trade of explanation of the obtained numerical result is
done
