Dislocation-Mediated Melting in Superfluid Vortex Lattices
S. Andrew Gifford, Gordon Baym
We describe thermal melting of the two-dimensional vortex lattice in a rotating superfluid by generalizing the Halperin and Nelson theory of dislocation-mediated melting. and deriv…

The axial anomaly and the phases of dense QCD
Gordon Baym, Tetsuo Hatsuda, Motoi Tachibana +1
The QCD axial anomaly, by coupling the chiral condensate and BCS pairing fields of quarks in dense matter, leads to a new critical point in the QCD phase diagram \cite{HTYB,chiral2…
