Optically opaque color-flavor locked phase inside compact stars
Igor A. Shovkovy, Paul J. Ellis
The contribution of thermally excited electron-positron pairs to the bulk properties of the color-flavor locked quark phase inside compact stars is examined. The presence of these…
Thermal rates for baryon and anti-baryon production
Joseph Kapusta, Igor Shovkovy
We use a form of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to derive formulas giving the rate of production of spin-1/2 baryons in terms of the fluctuations of either meson or quark fiel…
Quark color superconductivity and the cooling of compact stars
I. A. Shovkovy, P. J. Ellis
The thermal conductivity of the color-flavor locked phase of dense quark matter is calculated. The dominant contribution to the conductivity comes from photons and Nambu-Goldstone…
Comment on ``Electron Mass Operator in a Strong Magnetic Field and Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking"
V. P. Gusynin, V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy
This is a comment on the paper ``Electron Mass Operator in a Strong Magnetic Field and Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking" by A. V. Kuznetsov and N. V. Mikheev [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89…
Magnetic catalysis and anisotropic confinement in QCD
V. A. Miransky, I. A. Shovkovy
The expressions for dynamical masses of quarks in the chiral limit in QCD in a strong magnetic field are obtained. A low energy effective action for the corresponding Nambu-Goldsto…
Longitudinal gluons and Nambu-Goldstone bosons in a two-flavor color superconductor
Dirk H. Rischke, Igor A. Shovkovy
In a two-flavor color superconductor, the SU(3)_c gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by diquark condensation. The Nambu-Goldstone excitations of the diquark condensate mix with…
Thermal conductivity of dense quark matter and cooling of stars
Igor A. Shovkovy, Paul J. Ellis
The thermal conductivity of the color-flavor locked phase of dense quark matter is calculated. The dominant contribution to the conductivity comes from photons and Nambu-Goldstone…
Magnetic field driven metal-insulator phase transition in planar systems
E. V. Gorbar, V. P. Gusynin, V. A. Miransky +1
A theory of the magnetic field driven (semi-)metal-insulator phase transition is developed for planar systems with a low density of carriers and a linear (i.e., relativistic like)…
