Self-consistent evaluation of quark masses in three flavor crystalline color superconductivity

Abstract

We present a self-consistent evaluation of the constituent quark masses in the three flavor Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) phases of QCD, employing an improved Nambu-Jona Lasinio model. This result allows to determine the window for values of the baryonic chemical potential where the LOFF state is energetically favored.

17 pages, 5 figures, JHEP3 style. A second treatment of the ultraviolet cutoff added. Three figures adapted to the new cutoff. Two references added. Version accepted for publication on JHEP
