Abstract

We propose a new non-Hermitian chiral random matrix model that describes single-flavor spin-one Cooper pairing of quarks. For three colors the model shows spontaneous breaking of color SU(3)C\mathrm{SU}(3)_C and spin SO(3)J\mathrm{SO}(3)_J symmetries down to the diagonal SO(3)C+J\mathrm{SO}(3)_{C+J} subgroup, in striking analogy to the color-spin locked phase of one-flavor QCD at high density. For two colors, color-singlet spin-one diquarks condense and trigger symmetry breaking U(1)×SO(3)JSO(2)J\mathrm{U}(1) \times \mathrm{SO}(3)_J \to \mathrm{SO}(2)_J. In both cases the microscopic large-NN limit is rigorously taken and the effective theory of Nambu-Goldstone modes is derived.
