Abstract
I discuss some properties of spatially dependent chiral condensates, focusing on one-dimensional modulations. After briefly introducing a generic formalism for studying inhomogeneous solutions in dense quark matter, I consider a plane-wave and a sinusoidal ansatz, and discuss the relationship between their order parameters and free energies, as well as a comparison of their dispersion relations. I then introduce a real kink crystal, and discuss its relationship with the sinusoidal ansatz by performing a Fourier analysis of this kind of solution.
