QCD at finite density with Dyson-Schwinger equations.

Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
In this work we investigate QCD at finite density with Dyson-Schwinger equations. In the first part we consider color-superconducting phases, which occur at high densities through the formation of quark-quark pairs. We describe 2SC and CFL phases with massive strange quarks. We calculate the phase diagram in a hard-thermal-loop / hard-dense-loop approximation which describes the back-coupling of massless quarks to the gluons. We fixed the vertex parameters to a chiral critical temperature of Tc=150 MeV. This approximation results in low critical temperatures for the color-superconducting phases around 20-30 MeV and a too large pion decay constant. To improve the truncation we couple the full color-superconducting quark propagator back to the gluons. In addition to more realistic vacuum observables also the critical temperatures increase to 40-60 MeV. We find a dominant CFL phase at high densities, while at intermediate chemical potential, the ground state is a 2SC phase which also extents to a small band between CFL and normal conducting phase. We also calculate Debye and Meissner masses of the gluons, which can reproduce the results of weak-coupling calculations.
In the second part of this work we consider chiral condensates with the possibility of spatial modulations. We investigate 1-dimensional modulations with plane-wave shape, which oscillate between a scalar and a pseudoscalar condensate, in the Dyson-Schwinger formalism. We find an inhomogeneous phase that covers the original first-order chiral phase transition, which is in agreement with similar model calculations.
