Abstract
We formulate a self-consistent Hartree-Fock theory for a spin-1 Bose gas at finite temperature and apply it to characterizing the phase diagram. We find that spin coherence between thermal atoms in different magnetic sub-levels develops via coherent collisions with the condensed atoms, and is a crucial factor in determining the phase diagram. We develop analytical expressions to characterize the interaction and temperature dependent shifts of the phase boundaries.
