Kaon Condensation in Dense Stellar Matter

Abstract

This article combines two talks given by the authors and is based on works done in collaboration with G.E. Brown and D.-P. Min on kaon condensation in dense baryonic medium treated in chiral perturbation theory using heavy-baryon formalism. It contains, in addition to what was recently published, astrophysical backgrounds for kaon condensation discussed by Brown and Bethe, a discussion on a renormalization-group analysis to meson condensation worked out together with H.K. Lee and S.-J. Sin, and the recent results of K. M. Westerberg in the bound-state approach to the Skyrme model. Negatively charged kaons are predicted to condense at a critical density $2\lsim ρ/ρ_0\lsim 4$, in the range to allow the intriguing new phenomena predicted by Brown and Bethe to take place in compact star matter.
