abstract

We find that for large enough strange quark mass, $m_s^2/4 \mu \Delta>2/3(1-0.024),$ kaon condensed CFL phase of asymptotically dense 3 flavor quark matter is unstable with respect to spontaneous generation of currents of Nambu Goldstone bosons due to spontaneous breaking of baryon number symmetry and hypercharge symmetry in CFL$K^0$ ground state. The total baryon and hypercharge currents still vanish in the ground state. We find that CFL$K^0$ and the new state are separated by the first order phase transition.

  • How neutron star properties disfavor a nuclear chiral density wave nucl-th · 2024-11-12 · conditional · none · ref 12 · internal anchor

    Within this nucleon-meson model, a chiral density wave in neutron star cores is only stable for equations of state too soft to support observed two-solar-mass pulsars, predicting isotropic cores.
