We investigated two pion condensed phases in the frame of the two flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model at finite baryon density: the homogeneous and isotropic Sarma phase and inhomogeneous and anisotropic Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fudde-Ferrell(LOFF) phase. At small isospin chemical potential $\mu_I$, the Sarma state is free from the Sarma instability and magnetic instability due to the strong coupling and large enough effective quark mass. At large $\mu_I$, while the Sarma instability can be cured via fixing baryon density $n_B$ to be nonzero, its magnetic instability implies that the LOFF state is more favored than the Sarma state. In the intermediate $\mu_I$ region, the stable ground state is the Sarma state at higher $n_B$ and LOFF state at lower $n_B$.

  1. Quantum phases at high chemical potential in 2-flavor matrix-QC$_2$D

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    In a matrix model of two-flavor two-color QCD, large baryon/isospin/chiral chemical potentials produce a web of quantum phases, including spin-1 LOFF-like states whose quark spin fraction can approach one.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Dilepton yields in isospin-asymmetric QCD matter exhibit low-mass enhancement and a plateau in the pion-condensed phase, distinguishing it from chirally broken or restored phases.

  3. Minimal superfluid vortices in chiral perturbation theory

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Leading order chiral perturbation theory yields the minimal energy condition for vortex nucleation in the pion condensed phase, with vortices carrying quantized angular momentum and self-confining pions.
