abstract

The Chiral Soliton Lattice (CSL) is a state with a periodic array of topological solitons that spontaneously breaks parity and translational symmetries. Such a state is known to appear in chiral magnets. We show that CSL also appears as a ground state of quantum chromodynamics at nonzero chemical potential in a magnetic field. By analyzing the fluctuations of the CSL, we furthermore demonstrate that in strong but achievable magnetic fields, charged pions undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. Our results, based on a systematic low-energy effective theory, are model-independent and fully analytic.

Meson Octet in a Uniform Magnetic Field

hep-ph · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory yields renormalized magnetic masses and decay constants for the meson octet, with neutral pion mass decreasing, neutral kaon mass unchanged, charged meson masses modified identically, and all decay constants increasing monotonically.

    Minimal domain-wall Skyrmions in magnetized QCD are fermions with baryon number one that split from bosonic pairs without energy cost.

    In the NJL model with exact phase-space diagonalization, magnetic catalysis of the chiral condensate quenches the tachyonic instability of the spin-aligned rho+ by driving the 2M threshold above the Zeeman-lowered mass, preventing condensation.
