Thermal phonon fluctuations and stability of the magnetic dual chiral density wave phase in dense QCD
E. J Ferrer, W. Gyory, V. de la Incera
We study the stability against thermal phonon fluctuations of the magnetic dual chiral density wave (MDCDW) phase, an inhomogeneous phase arising in cold dense QCD in a magnetic fi…
