Abstract
A finite volume of a magnetic fluid resting on a solid base in an external homogeneous magnetic field is considered. An approach to the theory of topological instability is proposed and the instability criterion is derived. The shape hysteresis (first order phase transition) for fluids with high magnetic susceptibility is predictedKeywords
