According to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), matter at ultra-high densities will take the form of a color-superconducting quark liquid, in which there is a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface. I present a review of the…
At ultra-high density, matter is expected to form a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks in which there is a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface: color superconductivity. In these proceedings I review some of the…
It is quite plausible that color superconductivity occurs in the inner regions of neutron stars. At the same time, it is known that strong magnetic fields exist in the interior of these compact objects. In this paper we discuss some…
Within a simple model Hamiltonian, both superconductivity and metallic ferromagnetism can be understood as arising from lowering of kinetic energy as the ordered state develops, due to a reduction in the carriers effective mass, or…

Two magnetic aspects of quark matter, ferromagnetism and spin density wave, are discussed in the temperature-density plane. Some implications of ferromagnetism are suggested on relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compact stars.
The unusual magnetic materials are significant in both science and technology. However, because of the strongly correlated effects, it is difficult to understand their novel properties from theoretical aspects. Holographic duality offers a…
