Scrutinizing the pion condensed phase
Stefano Carignano, Luca Lepori, Andrea Mammarella +2
When the isospin chemical potential exceeds the pion mass, charged pions condense in the zero-momentum state forming a superfluid. Chiral perturbation theory provides a very powerf…
Consistent parameter fixing in the quark-meson model with vacuum fluctuations
Stefano Carignano, Michael Buballa, Wael Elkamhawy
We revisit the renormalization prescription for the quark-meson model in an extended mean-field approximation, where vacuum quark fluctuations are included. At a given cutoff scale…
Equation of state of imbalanced cold matter from chiral perturbation theory
Stefano Carignano, Andrea Mammarella, Massimo Mannarelli
We study the thermodynamic properties of matter at vanishing temperature for non-extreme values of the isospin chemical potential and of the strange quark chemical potential. From…
Color-superconductivity and inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in isospin-asymmetric quark matter
Daniel Nowakowski, Stefano Carignano
We investigate the effects of isospin asymmetry on the competition between color-superconductivity and inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in dense two-flavor quark matter using…
