Phases of Flavor Broken QCD${}_3$

Abstract

We map out the phase diagram of QCD${}_3$ with a product flavor group of the form $U(f)\times U(F)$. We find interesting structures emerge when $f+F>k$ depending on the relative sizes of $f$,$F$ and $k$. In particular, there exists phase transitions in which a Grassmannian phase will disappear and reappear in a different part of the phase diagram.
