Non-Fermi Liquid Effective Field Theory of Dense QCD Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We review an effective field theory for the non-Fermi liquid regime of dense QCD matter. Non-Fermi liquid effects arise due the presence of unscreened magnetic gluon exchanges. We show that there is a systematic low energy expansion in fractional powers and logarithms of energy. We discuss the validity of some standard theorems of Fermi liquid theory.
