Critical phenomena from the two-particle irreducible 1/N expansion
M. Alford, J. Berges, J. M. Cheyne
The 1/N expansion of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action is employed to compute universal properties at the second-order phase transition of an O(N)-symmetric N-vec…
Measuring the aspect ratio renormalization of anisotropic-lattice gluons
M. Alford, I. T. Drummond, R. R. Horgan +2
Using tadpole inproved actions we investigate the consistency between different methods of measuring the aspect ratio renormalization of anisotropic-lattice gluons for bare aspect…
Magnetic fields within color superconducting neutron star cores
M. Alford, J. Berges, K. Rajagopal
We discuss the Meissner effect for a color superconductor formed by cold dense quark matter. Though color and ordinary electromagnetism are broken in a color superconductor, there…
High-density QCD: the effects of strangeness
M. Alford
I discuss the zero temperature phase diagram of QCD, as a function of baryon density and strange quark mass. The noteworthy points are that at sufficiently high density chiral symm…
Gapless Color Superconductivity
M. Alford, J. Berges, K. Rajagopal
We present the dispersion relations for quasiparticle excitations about the color-flavor locked ground state of QCD at high baryon density. In the presence of condensates which pai…
Unlocking Color and Flavor in Superconducting Strange Quark Matter
M. Alford, J. Berges, K. Rajagopal
We explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter with massless u and d quarks as a function of the strange quark mass m_s and the chemical potential mu for baryon number…
