Effective lagrangians for QCD at high density
Abstract
We describe low energy physics in the CFL and LOFF phases by means of effective lagrangians. In the CFL case we present also how to derive expressions for the parameters appearing in the lagrangian via weak coupling calculations taking advantage of the dimensional reduction of fermion physics around the Fermi surface. The Goldstone boson of the LOFF phase turns out to be a phonon satisfying an anisotropic dispersion relation.
