Color Superconductivity  QCD at high density → asymptotic free Fermi surface  Attractive channel → Cooper instability [3] C ×[3] C =[6] C +[3] C E p μ q q 3 “diquark condensate” “Fermi sea” “Dirac sea”

Color-Flavor Locking (CFL) u d s r,g,br,g,bu,d,s  Pairing channel s-wave pairing, spin singlet → Dirac antisymmetric Attractive channel → color antisymmetric Pauli principle → flavor antisymmetric U(1) A anomaly → Lorentz scalar  3-flavor limit: Color-Flavor Locking (CFL) Alford-Rajagopal-Wilczek (NPB1999)  Gauge-invariant order parameter e.g.)  Symmetry breaking pattern:

CFL is positive parity ... due to the presence of U(1) A anomaly.  Consider the Kobayashi-Maskawa-’t Hooft (KMT) vertex with quark mass:  V KMT is minimized when and the positive parity state is energetically favored. Alford-Rajagopal-Wilczek (NPB1999) Kobayashi-Maskawa (PTP1970); ‘t Hooft (PRD1976) G G T. Schafer (PRD2002)

Chiral symmetry breaking in CFL  The chiral condensate:  Exactly calculated thanks to the screening of instantons at high μ: [Point] 1.Chiral symmetry is broken not only by the diquark condensate but also the chiral condensate in CFL. 2.Nonzero chiral condensate in CFL is model-independent. 3.Chiral-super interplay of the type is inevitable. Alford-Rajagopal-Wilczek (NPB1999) T. Schafer (PRD2002); NY (JHEP2008)

Possible phase structure I  Anomaly-induced critical point at high μ. Hatsuda-Tachibana-NY-Baym (PRL2006)  A realization of quark-hadron continuity. Schafer-Wilczek (PRL1999)  Critical point(s) of other origins. Kitazawa-Koide-Kunihiro-Nemoto (PTP2002); Zhang-Fukushima-Kunihiro (PRD2009); Zhang-Kunihiro, arXiv: T  Quark-Gluon Plasma Hadrons Color superconductivity

Possible phase structure III  Is there this possibility? [see also Hidaka-san’s talk] T  Quark-Gluon Plasma Hadrons CFL quark matter

Phase diagram of “instantons” (N f =3) T  “instanton liquid” “instanton molecule” “ instanton gas“  Chiral phase transition at high μ: instanton-induced crossover. 4-dim. generalization of Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. NY (JHEP2008)

Another viewpoint: Lee-Yang zeros  The partition function zeros in the complex plane at V<∞ reflects the information of the chiral condensate at V=∞:  Nonzero chiral condensate at V=∞ requires a cut through m=0. Halasz-Jackson-Verbaarschot (PRD97) [Lee-Yang zeros at μ=0] Leutwyler-Smilga (PRD92)

Predictions of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) Halasz-Jackson-Verbaarschot (PRD97); Halasz, et al. (PRD98)  RMT predictions: 1.Chiral symmetry restores at μ=μ c. 2.The cut will move away from origin as μ increases. → Is it consistent with the chiral symmetry breaking at high μ? [Random Matrix Theory → Ohtani-san’s talk]

Finite-volume QCD at high density  QCD in a large but finite torus:  ε-regime:  Elementary excitations in CFL; 9 quarks: mass gap~Δ due to the color superconductivity. 8 gluons: mass gap~Δ due to the Higgs mechanism. 8+1(+1) Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes: nearly (or exactly) massless.  In ε-regime, Non-NG modes negligible since. Kinetic terms of NG modes negligible. NY-Kanazawa (PRL2009)

Partition functions in ε-regime  Chiral Lagrangian at high μ (flavor-symmetric): Son-Stephanov (PRD2000)  Exact partition function at high μ: a novel correspondence between hadronic phase and CFL phase related to quark-hadron continuity!  Dirac spectrum... at μ=0. at high μ. NY-Kanazawa (PRL2009)

Exact Lee-Yang zeros at high density  Asymptotic partition function and Lee-Yang zeros at μ=∞:  Chiral condensate vanishes at μ=∞.  However, many Lee-Yang zeros exist near origin even at high μ and the chiral condensate can be nonzero for μ<∞. NY-Kanazawa (PRL2009)

1.Phases in dense QCD The U(1) A anomaly (or instanton) plays crucial role. Non-vanishing chiral condensate even at high μ. Chiral-super interplay is inevitable. Possible critical point(s) in dense QCD. 2.Partition function zeros in dense QCD Exact X-shaped cut in the complex mass plane at μ=∞. Chiral condensate can be nonzero for μ<∞. 3.Future problems Phases at lower or intermediate densities? Anomaly-induced interplay in NJL. Baym-Hatsuda-NY, in progress. Confinement-deconfinement transition? Microscopic understanding based on QCD? Summary & Outlook
