Abstract

In QCD at high density, the color-octet quark-antiquark condensate ψγ0(λA)C(λA)Fψ\langle\overline\psi\gamma_0(\lambda^A)_C (\lambda^A)_F\psi\rangle is generally nonzero and dynamically breaks the SU(3)C×SU(3)L×SU(3)R\mathrm{SU}(3)_C\times \mathrm{SU}(3)_L\times\mathrm{SU}(3)_R symmetry down to the diagonal SU(3)V\mathrm{SU}(3)_V. We evaluate this condensate in the mean-field approximation and find that it is of order μΔ2log(μ/Δ)\mu\Delta^2\log(\mu/\Delta) where Δ\Delta is the BCS gap of quarks. Next we propose a novel non-Hermitian chiral random matrix theory that describes the formation of colorful quark-antiquark condensates. We take the microscopic large-NN limit and find that three phases appear depending on the parameter of the model. They are the color-flavor locked phase, the polar phase, and the normal phase. We rigorously derive the effective theory of Nambu-Goldstone modes and determine the quark-mass dependence of the partition function.
