Abstract

We study the low energy behavior of QCD Green functions in the limit that the baryon chemical potential is much larger than the QCD scale parameter ΛQCD\Lambda_QCD. We show that there is a systematic low energy expansion in powers of (ω/m)1/3(\omega/m)^{1/3}, where ω\omega is the energy and mm is the screening scale. This expansion is valid even if the effective quark-gluon coupling gg is not small. The expansion is purely perturbative in the magnetic regime kk0|\vec{k}| \gg k_0. If the external momenta and energies satisfy k0kk_0 \sim |\vec{k}|, planar, abelian ladder diagrams involving the full quark propagator have to be resummed but the corresponding Dyson-Schwinger equations are closed.
