Quantum Hall liquids in high-density QCD
Abstract
There exist metastable domain walls of the flavor-singlet meson for the axial symmetry in two-flavor color superconductivity (2SC) in QCD at large baryon density. We show that, due to the coupling of to confined gluons in the 2SC phase, the effective theory on the domain wall is described by the Chern-Simons theory, which is dual to the Chern-Simons theory. This theory has a spin-1 droplet excitation that does not carry a baryon number, which we identify as a vector meson. We also discuss the effective theories and baryonic droplet excitations on the domain walls of the flavor-singlet mesons in the superfluid phases of QCD at large isospin density and two-color QCD at large baryon density.
