The goal of this paper is to arrive at a low energy effective theory of QCD with two massless flavors of quarks at very high isospin density and zero baryon density. In a seminal paper by Son and Stephanov in the year 2001, it was…

Exploiting operator relations in QCD, we derive a novel and model-independent formula relating the in-medium quark condensate <bar-q q>* to the decay constant F*_t and the wave function renormalization constant Z* of the pion in the nuclear…
Quenched QCD simulations on three volumes, $8^3 \times$, $12^3 \times$ and $16^3 \times 32$ and three couplings, $\beta=5.7$, 5.85 and 6.0 using domain wall fermions provide a consistent picture of quenched QCD. We demonstrate that the…
The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than $\mathrm{O}(1\%)$, require theoretical calculations to…

We study lattice QCD in the limit that the quark mass and chemical potential are simultaneously made large, resulting in a controllable density of quarks which do not move. This is similar in spirit to the quenched approximation for zero…
