Inhomogeneity driven by Higgs instability in gapless superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Mei Huang +1
The fluctuations of the Higgs and pseudo Nambu-Goldstone fields in the 2SC phase with mismatched pairing are described in the nonlinear realization framework of the gauged Nambu--J…
Higgs instability in gapless superfluidity/superconductivity
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Mei Huang +1
In this letter we explore the Higgs instability in the gapless superfluid/superconducting phase. This is in addition to the (chromo)magnetic instability that is related to the fluc…
Absence of the London limit for the first-order phase transition to a color superconductor
Jorge L. Noronha, Hai-cang Ren, Ioannis Giannakis +2
We study the effects of gauge-field fluctuations on the free energy of a homogeneous color superconductor in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase. Gluonic fluctuations induce a stro…
Chromomagnetic Instability and the LOFF state in a two flavor Color Superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Hai-Cang Ren
We explore the relation between the chromomagnetic instability of a homogeneous two flavor color superconductor and the LOFF state. We perturb the free energy of the 2SC by generat…
Gauge Field Fluctuations and First-Order Phase Transition in Color Superconductivity
Ioannis Giannakis, Defu Hou, Hai-cang Ren +1
We study the gauge field fluctuations in dense quark matter and determine the temperature of the induced first-order phase transition to the color-superconducting phase in weak cou…
The Ginzburg-Landau Theory and the Surface Energy of a Colour Superconductor
Ioannis Giannakis, Hai-cang Ren
We apply the Ginzburg-Landau theory to the colour superconducting phase of a lump of dense quark matter. We calculate the surface energy of a domain wall separating the normal phas…
