Vanishing condensates and anomalously light Goldstone modes in medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that in a uniform medium, the vanishing of a particular condensate along with spontaneously broken symmetry imply the existence of an anomalously light pseudo-Goldstone mode. The consequences for a vanishing chiral condensate in nuclear matter are discussed.

Quasi-Nambu-Goldstone modes in Bose-Einstein condensates.
We show that quasi-Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes, which play prominent roles in high energy physics but have been elusive experimentally, can be realized with atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The quasi-NG modes emerge when the symmetry of a ground state is larger than that of the Hamiltonian. When they appear, the conventional vacuum manifold should be enlarged. Consequently, topological defects ...
متن کاملPhoton self-energy in a color superconductor
In a color superconductor the diquark condensates break spontaneously both the color and ordinary electromagnetism, leaving a remaining rotated U(1) symmetry unbroken. The gauge interactions associated with this rotated symmetry may be considered as the in-medium electromagnetism. We compute the in-medium photon self-energy in the presence of diquark condensates at high baryonic density and wea...
متن کاملMassive Degeneracy and Goldstone Bosons: A Challenge for the Light Cone
Wherein it is argued that the light front formalism has problems dealing with Goldstone symmetries. It is further argued that the notion that in hadron condensates can explain Goldstone phenomena is false. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
متن کاملNJL-model description of Goldstone boson condensation in the color-flavor locked phase
A schematic NJL-type model is employed to investigate kaon and pion condensation in deconfined quark matter in the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase, explicitly referring to quark degrees of freedom. To that end we allow for non-vanishing pseudoscalar diquark condensates in addition to the scalar ones which constitute the CFL phase. Color neutrality is ensured by the appropriate choice of color c...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Josephson effect in spinor Bose- Einstein condensates
We investigate the non-Abelian Josephson effect in F=2 spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with double optical traps. We propose a real physical system which incorporates the non-Abelian Josephson effect and has very different density and spin tunneling characteristics compared with the Abelian case. We calculate the frequencies of the pseudo Goldstone modes in different phases between two traps, ...
