We argue that cold quark matter is a color superconductor. The Cooper pairs of QCD are spin-isospin zero, color anti-triplet diquarks. In this contribution we review some of the available information on the quark-quark interaction in QCD.…
We use a variational procedure to study finite density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled by that induced by instantons. We find that uniform states with conventional chiral symmetry breaking have…
Identifying superconducting states of matter without prior assumptions is a central challenge in strongly correlated electron systems. We introduce a canonical framework for diagnosing the formation of Cooper pair condensates based on the…
We present the results of precise correlated-electron calculations on the monomer lattices of the organic charge-transfer solids $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$X for 32 and 64 molecular sites. Our calculations are for band parameters corresponding…
We employ a bispinor gap equation to study superfluidity at nonzero chemical potential: mu .neq. 0, in two- and three-colour QCD. The two-colour theory, QC2D, is an excellent exemplar: the order of truncation of the quark-quark scattering…
In the Coulomb gauge of QCD, the Hamiltonian contains a non-linear Christ-Lee term, which may alternatively be derived from a careful treatment of ambiguous Feynman integrals at 2-loop order. We investigate how and if UV divergences from…
The gap parameter for color superconductivity is expected to be a gauge invariant quantity, at least on the appropriate mass shell. Computing the gap to subleading order in the QCD coupling constant, g, we show that the prefactor of the…
We investigate the effect of long range magnetic interactions on the renormalization group (RG) evolution of local Cooper pairing interactions near the Fermi surface in high density QCD. We use an explicit cut-off on momentum modes, with…
We analyze the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in gauge theories solely by the non-perturbative renormalization group, without recourse to the Schwinger-Dyson method. First, we briefly review the basic notions and formulation, and…
We present exact results, at next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory, for the Wilson coefficients appearing at order 1/m_Q in the heavy-quark expansion of heavy-light current operators. To this end, we…
The system of light quark and heavy antiquark source is studied in 1+1 QCD in the large N_C limit. The situation is demonstrated to be the two dimensional analogue of the problem in 3+1 QCD corresponding to the essentially nonlocal case of…
We start with the QCD sum rules which are originally based on the idea that it is the power-like corrections to the parton model which are related to the confinement. The naive use of the Operator Product Expansion ensures that there is a…

We address the origin of the Cooper pairs in high-$T_c$ cuprates and the unique nature of the superconducting (SC) condensate. Itinerant holes in an antiferromagnetic background form pairs spontaneously, without any `glue', defining a new…
In this paper, we have constructed a bottom-up holographic model for the color superconductivity (CSC) of the Yang-Mills theory with including the higher derivative corrections which allow to study the CSC phase with the color number…
We extend our approach based on the second order perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction recently developed for quantum dots coupled to superconducting leads to the superconducting double quantum dot setups. Using our perturbative…
In this talk, I discuss the recent development in color superconductivity in terms of effective field theory. By investigating the Cooper pair gap equations at high density, we see that the effective theory simplifies the gap analysis very…

We analytically as well as numerically disclose the effects of the higher order correction terms in the gravity and in the gauge field on the properties of $s$-wave holographic superconductors. On the gravity side, we consider the higher…
In this thesis, higher-order corrections to the perturbative expansions of scattering amplitudes involving the Higgs boson in the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics are evaluated, where we focus on processes that are mediated through…
