Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which
is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi …

Investigations of deconfined quark matter within NJL-type models are reviewed, focusing on
the regime of low temperatures and “moderate” densities, which is not accessible by …

The first lecture provides an introduction to the physics of color superconductivity in cold
dense quark matter. The main color superconducting phases are briefly described and their …

We present a detailed study of the recently proposed gapless color superconductivity in
neutral two-flavor quark matter in β-equilibrium at zero as well as at finite temperature. We …

The results for the Debye and Meissner screening masses of the gluons and the photon in
the case of neutral and β-equilibrated dense two-flavor quark matter are presented. In the …

The composition of the core of neutron stars (NSs) is still under debate. One possibility is
that because of the high densities reached in their cores, matter could be deconfined into …

This article focuses on the two-flavor color superconducting phase at moderate baryon
density. In order to simultaneously investigate the chiral phase transition and the color …

We explore the relation between the chromomagnetic instability of a homogeneous two
flavor color superconductor and the LOFF state. We perturb the free energy of the 2SC by …

We investigate chiral symmetry breaking in strong magnetic fields at finite temperature and
densities in a 3 flavor Nambu Jona Lasinio model including the Kobayashi Maskawa't Hooft …

The Debye and Meissner screening masses of the gluons and the photon in neutral and β-
equilibrated dense two-flavor quark matter are calculated. The results are presented in a …
