چکیده

QCD superconductors in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase support excitations (generalized mesons) that can be described as pairs of particles or holes (rather than particle-hole) around a gapped Fermi surface. In weak coupling and to leading logarithm accuracy the scalar and pseudoscalar excitations are massless and the vector and axial-vector excitations are massive and degenerate. The massless scalar excitations are combined with the longitudinal gluons leading to the Meissner effect in the CFL phase. The mass of the composite vector excitations is close to twice the gap in weak coupling, but goes asymptotically to zero with increasing coupling thereby realizing Georgi's vector limit in cold and dense matter. We discuss the possible mixing of the composite scalar and vector excitations with the gluons, their possible coupling to the modified photons and their decay into light pseudoscalars in the CFL phase. The issue of hidden gauge-symmetry in the QCD superconductor is critically examined. The physical implications of our results on soft dilepton and neutrino emission in cold and dense matter are briefly discussed.

QCD superconductors in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase sustain excitations (" Cooper " mesons) that can be described as pairs of particles or holes around a gapped Fermi surface. In weak coupling and to leading logarithm accuracy the masses, decay constants and form factors of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector excitations, which explicitly are of finite size, can be calculat...

The Sigma Meson and Chiral Transition in Hot and Dense Matter

It is pointed out that the hadron spectroscopy should be a study of the structure of the QCD vacuum, low-energy elementary excitations on top of which are hadrons. Concentrating on the dynamical breaking of the chiral symmetry in the QCD vacuum, we emphasize the importance to clarify what is going on with mesons in the I = J = 0-channel, i.e., the sigma meson channel, because it is connected to...

Formulation of Vector Manifestation in Hot and / or Dense Matter

The vector manifestation (VM) was proposed as a novel manifestation of chiral symmetry in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of pion. In this write-up, I briefly summarize the following main ingredients to formulate the VM in hot and/or dense matter: Effective field theory (EFT) based on the hidden local symmetry; Wilsonian matching between the EFT and QCD; Intrinsic the...

Vector Mesons and Dense Skyrmion Matter

In our continuing effort to understand hadronic matter at high density, we have developed a unified field theoretic formalism for dense skyrmion matter using a single Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both matter and meson fluctuations and studied in-medium properties of hadrons. Dropping the quartic Skyrme term , we incorporate into our previous Lagrangian the vector mesons ρ and ω in a fo...

Hidden Local Symmetry and the Vector Manifestation of Chiral Symmetry in Hot and/or Dense Matter

The emergence and importance of hidden local symmetry in the structure of hadrons under extreme conditions is discussed. The topics covered are the potentially important role played by an infinite tower of vector mesons encoded in holographic dual QCD (or AdS/QCD) in chiral dynamics of mesons and baryons, in the vector dominance and its violation in EW response functions and the presence of the...
