* ABSTRACT | |||||||
We study crystalline color superconductivity, which may arise in quark matter due to the mismatch between Fermi surfaces of different quark flavors. Using Schwinger-Dyson equations derived from an effective theory of low-energy quasiparticles, we examine both the case of an effective four Fermi interaction (appropriate for intermediate densities, such as those found in a neutron star) and Landau-damped one gluon exchange (appropriate for asymptotic density). We discuss patching together regions of plane-wave (LOFF) condensation, which in some cases can lower the vacuum energy substantially. Finally, we discuss the energy of the crystalline phase compared to that of the single flavor (uu, dd) condensate phase. |
