A remark on non-Abelian classical kinetic theory
Mikko Laine, Cristina Manuel
It is known that non-Abelian classical kinetic theory reproduces the Hard Thermal/Dense Loop (HTL/HDL) effective action of QCD, obtained after integrating out the hardest momentum…
Semi-classical transport theory for non-Abelian plasmas
Daniel F. Litim, Cristina Manuel
We review a semi-classical transport theory for non-Abelian plasmas based on a classical picture of coloured point particles. Within this formalism, kinetic equations for the mean…
Illuminating Dense Quark Matter
Cristina Manuel, Krishna Rajagopal
We imagine shining light on a lump of cold dense quark matter, in the CFL phase and therefore a transparent insulator. We calculate the angles of reflection and refraction, and the…
Photon Self-Energy in a Color Superconductor
Daniel F. Litim, Cristina Manuel
In a color superconductor the diquark condensates break spontaneously both the color and ordinary electromagnetism, leaving a remanining rotated U(1) symmetry unbroken. The gauge i…
Transport theory for a two-flavor color superconductor
Daniel F. Litim, Cristina Manuel
QCD with two light quark flavors at high baryonic density and low temperature is a color superconductor. The diquark condensate partially breaks the SU(3) gauge symmetry down to an…
