The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

In these lectures we provide an introduction to the theory of QCD at very high baryon density. We begin with a review of some aspects of quantum many-body system that are relevant in the QCD context. We also provide a brief review of QCD and its symmetries. The main part of these lectures is devoted to the phenomenon of color superconductivity. We discuss the use of weak coupling methods and study the phase structure as a function of the number of flavors and their masses. We also introduce effective theories that describe low energy excitations at high baryon density. Finally, we use effective field theory methods in order to study the effects of a non-zero strange quark mass.

We also provide a brief review of QCD and its symmetries. The main part of these lectures is devoted to the phenomenon of color superconductivity. We discuss the use of weak coupling methods and study the phase structure as a function of the number of flavors and their masses. We also introduce effective theories that describe low energy excitations at high baryon density. Finally, we use effective field theory methods in order to study the effects of a non-zero strange quark mass.

Singular values of the Dirac operator in dense QCD-like theories
hep-ph 2011-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

The Dirac singular value spectrum in dense QCD-like theories is set by the diquark condensate at all densities, yielding new Banks-Casher, Smilga-Stern, and Leutwyler-Smilga analogues plus random matrix predictions.
Axial anomaly and magnetism of nuclear and quark matter

The strongly coupled two-color QCD chiral limit shows a weak first-order finite-temperature transition at zero chemical potential, an XY-universality second-order transition at nonzero chemical potential, and a mean-f...
Deconfinement in dense 2-color QCD

Two-color QCD with two Wilson fermions at low temperature shows a vacuum phase, a diquark-condensed superfluid, and a deconfined quark-matter phase above mu about 600 MeV, with a minimum in energy per baryon.
Probing neutron-star matter in the lab: similarities and differences between binary mergers and heavy-ion collisions
nucl-th 2022-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Heavy-ion collisions at 450 to 600 MeV per nucleon produce thermodynamic conditions, tracked by entropy per baryon near 2, that overlap those in binary neutron-star mergers simulated with the same equation of state.
