Abstract
It is shown that in finite temperature QCD the two-loop effective acti on of the gauge field zero component condensate W(A0, xi), calculated in the background R(xi)ext gauge, satisfies the Nielsen identity and h as a nontrivial minimum. In this way the gauge invariance of the gluon condensation phenomenon is proved. The role of quarks and a compariso n with results of other authors are briefly discussed.
