abstract

We use 2-color QCD as a model to study the effects of simultaneous presence of chemical potentials for isospin charge, $\mu_I$, and for baryon number, $\mu_B$. We determine the phase diagrams for 2 and 4 flavor theories using the method of effective chiral Lagrangians at low densities and weak coupling perturbation theory at high densities. We determine the values of various condensates and densities as well as the spectrum of excitations as functions of $\mu_I$ and $\mu_B$. A similar analysis of QCD with quarks in the adjoint representation is also presented. Our results can be of relevance for lattice simulations of these theories. We predict a phase of inhomogeneous condensation (Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase) in the 2 colour 2 flavor theory, while we do not expect it the 4 flavor case or in other realizations of QCD with a positive measure.

  1. Quantum phases at high chemical potential in 2-flavor matrix-QC$_2$D

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a matrix model of two-flavor two-color QCD, large baryon/isospin/chiral chemical potentials produce a web of quantum phases, including spin-1 LOFF-like states whose quark spin fraction can approach one.

  2. Quarkyonic picture of isospin QCD

    nucl-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cold isospin QCD is modeled as a pion condensate plus free quarks, with a quarkyonic onset near 0.23 fm^-3 and high-density pion dissociation toward the conformal limit.

  3. Strongly interacting matter in extreme magnetic fields

    nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A state-of-the-art review of magnetic field effects in QCD and QED matter, covering meson properties, anomalous transport, effective models, the QCD phase diagram, and neutron stars.
