On gap equations and color-flavor locking in cold dense QCD with three massless flavors
I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The superconductivity in cold dense QCD with three massless flavors is analyzed in the framework of the Schwinger-Dyson equation. The set of two coupled gap equations for the color…
Theory of the Magnetic Catalysis of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED
V. P. Gusynin, V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy
The theory of the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in QED is developed. An approximation for the Schwinger-Dyson equations describing reliably this phenomenon is esta…
The effective potential of composite diquark fields and the spectrum of resonances in dense QCD
V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The effective potential of composite diquark fields responsible for color symmetry breaking in cold very dense QCD, in which long-range interactions dominate, is derived. The spect…
Schwinger-Dyson Approach to Color Superconductivity in Dense QCD
D. K. Hong, V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy +1
The problem of color superconductivity in dense QCD is reconsidered in the improved rainbow approximation to the Schwinger-Dyson equation. The effect of the unscreened magnetic mod…
Universality and the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking
G. W. Semenoff, I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The hypothesis that the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking is due to interactions of massless fermions in their lowest Landau level is examined in the context of chiral…
Derivative Expansion of the One-Loop Effective Action in QED
Igor A. Shovkovy
The one-loop effective action in QED at zero and finite temperature is obtained by using the worldline approach. The Feynman rules for the perturbative expansion of the action in t…
