Charged kaon condensation in high density quark matter

Abstract

We show that at asymptotically high densities the ``color-flavor-locked + neutral kaon condensate'' phase of QCD develops a charged kaon condensate through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. At densities achievable in neutron stars a charged kaon condensate forms only for some (natural) values of the low energy constants describing the low-lying excitations of the ground state.
