Abstract

We probe the θ\theta-dependence of QCD at finite isospin chemical potential μI\mu_I using the effective chiral Lagrangian approach. The phase diagram in the θ\theta, μI\mu_I plane is constructed and described in detail in terms of chiral and pion condensates. The physics at θ π\theta ~ \pi is investigated in both the normal and superfluid phase. Finally, the behaviour of the gluon condensate at finite μI\mu_I is computed.
