Color Superconductivity in a Dense Quark Matter
The color superconductivity of a dense quark matter is reviewed with emphasis on the long range nature of the pairing force and the multiplicity of the order parameter. The former gives rise to a non BCS behavior of the superconducting energy scale and the latter modifies the critical value of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter that separates the superconductivity of type I and that of type II.

Gauge field fluctuations and first-order phase transition in color superconductivity.
We study the gauge field fluctuations in dense quark matter and determine the temperature of the induced first-order phase transition to the color-superconducting phase in weak coupling. We find that the local approximation of the coupling between the gauge potential and the order parameter, employed in the Ginzburg-Landau theory, has to be modified by restoring the full momentum dependence of the polarization function of gluons in the superconducting phase.

Bosonization of lattice fermions.
For any purely fermionic system on a lattice in arbitrary space dimension we prove that there is a different but well-defined system on the same lattice, consisting of both [ital bona] [ital fide] fermions and bosons with an interaction depending on a parameter [lambda], which characterizes a same-site repulsion between particles. The energy spectrum and the scattering matrix of the former are identical to those in the finite energy sector of the latter, in the limit [lambda][r arrow][infinity] (i.e., hard-core repulsion). This general theorem is applied to a resonance-boson model in a lattice fermion system, whose solution may have relevance to high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] superconductivity.

Effect of gauge-field fluctuations on the phase transition between normal and color-superconducting quark matter
Type-I color superconductors display a first-order phase transition due to thermal gauge-field fluctuations. We numerically evaluated the critical temperature of the first-order phase transition and the corresponding discontinuity of the diquark condensate at the critical point.

A neutral two-flavor LOFF color superconductor
In this Letter we construct analytically a LOFF color superconducting state that is both color and charge neutral using the weak coupling approximation. We demonstrate that this state is free from chromomagnetic instabilities. Its relevance to the realistic quark matter at moderately high baryon density is discussed.

String tensions of SU(3) gauge theory on a random lattice
Abstract The SU(3) gauge theory on a random lattice is studied using the Monte Carlo method. The string tensions are measured. A scaling window around g 0 −2 = 1.4 is detected and the scale parameter is estimated.

Fermions in a global monopole background
Abstract We study the scattering of fermions in a “global monopole” background metric. This is the four-dimensional analogue of the scattering on a cone in three dimensions. The scattering amplitude is exactly obtained. We then study massless fermion-dyon systems in such a background metric. The density of the S -wave fermion condensate is found to be given by a constant times the flat space value of Callan and Rubakov.
