Multi fluidity and Solitary wave stability in cold quark matter: core of dense astrophysical objects
Authors
Abstract:
Considering the magneto-hydrodynamic equations in a non-relativistic multi uid framework, we study the behavior of small amplitude perturbations in cold quark matter. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations, along with a suitable equation of state for the cold quark matter, are expanded using the reductive perturbation method. It is shown that in small amplitude approximation, such a medium should be considered as a multi- uid system. The result is a nonlinear wave equation which complies with a modied form of the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation instead of the KdV equation. Considering the magnetic eld which is supported by the Maxwell's equations, we show that the complete set of equations, create stable solitary waves. An interesting result is the existence of an electric eld component along the direction of magnetic eld which causes a small charge separability in the medium. Properties of this solitonic solution are studied by considering different values for the environmental characters such as background mass density and strength of the magnetic eld (at the scale of compact stars).

Color Superconductivity in Cold, Dense Quark Matter
We review what is different and what is similar in a color superconductor as compared to an ordinary BCS superconductor. The parametric dependence of the zero-temperature gap, φ0, on the coupling constant differs in QCD from that in BCS theory. On the other hand, the transition temperature to the superconducting phase, Tc, is related to the zero-temperature gap in the same way in QCD as in BCS ...

This thesis is devoted to properties of quark matter at high density and (comparatively) low temperature. In nature matter under these conditions can possibly be found in the interior of (some) neutron stars. Under “normal” conditions quarks are confined in the hadrons. Under the extreme conditions in the core of a neutron star, however, the strong interaction between the quarks becomes weaker ...
full textSpin-one Color Superconductivity in Cold and Dense Quark Matter
In this thesis, several color-superconducting phases where quarks of the same flavor form Cooper pairs are investigated. In these phases, a Cooper pair carries total spin one. A systematic classification of theoretically possible phases, discriminated by the color-spin structure of the order parameter and the respective symmetry breaking pattern, is presented. In the weak-coupling limit, i.e., ...

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction. The precise structure of its phase diagram in the plane of temperature T and quark chemical potential μ, in particular the location and nature of the phase transition lines and the possible existence of critical endpoints, is an unsolved problem. From mapping out the phase diagram and studying the properties of the various ph...

The quark matter may have great implications in astrophysical studies, which could appear in the early Universe, in compact stars, and/or as cosmic rays. After a general review of astrophysical quark matter, the density-dominated quark matter is focused.
full textColor Superconducting Phases of Cold Dense Quark Matter
We investigate color superconducting phases of cold quark matter at densities relevant for the interiors of compact stars. At these densities, electrically neutral and weak-equilibrated quark matter can have unequal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. The QCD interaction favors Cooper pairs that are antisymmetric in color and in flavor, and a crystalline color superconducting phase can occ...
