Topological Susceptibility in the Superconductive Phases of Quantum Chromodynamics: a Dyson-Schwinger Perspective

Abstract

We test non-perturbative gluon propagators recently studied in the literature, by computing the topological susceptibility, $\chi$, of the superconductive phases of Quantum Chromodynamics at high density. We formulate the problem within the High-Density Effective Theory, and use the 2-particle irreducible formalism to compute the effective potential of the dense phases. We focus on superconductive phases with two and three massless flavors. Within this formalism, we write a Dyson-Schwinger equation in the rainbow approximation for the anomalous part of the quark propagator in the superconductive phases, in which the non-perturbative gluon propagator plays its role. We complete the model by adding a $U(1{)}_A$-breaking term whose coupling is fixed perturbatively at large quark chemical potential. We then use the effective potential to compute $\chi$ in the superconductive phases. We finally discuss implications of the results for the axion mass in superdense phases of Quantum Chromodynamics.
