A new method of employing an isospin chemical potential for QCD-like theories with different number of colors, number of fermion flavors, and in different fermion representations is proposed. The isospin chemical potential, which can be…

We have simulated QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) to probe part of the phase diagram for nuclear matter. Preliminary results suggest that for $\mu_I > \mu_c$, this theory forms a charged pion condensate which…

We simulate lattice QCD at a finite chemical potential $\mu_I$ for isospin ($I_3$) at zero and finite temperatures. At some $\mu_I=\mu_c$ QCD has a second order transition with mean-field critical exponents to a state where ($I_3$) is…
