Magnetism in Cold-Dense Quark Matter
Dr. Efrain J. Ferrer
University of Texas at El Paso
Abstract: In this talk, I will review some of the main findings on the topic of color superconductivity in a magnetic field. The main characteristics of the different phases that can be reached by increasing the external magnetic field in a three-flavor color superconductor at asymptotically high densities are discussed. A mechanism to boost a seed magnetic field in high-dense quark matter is presented. In addition, it will be shown how a magnetic field can be generated in a color superconductor at moderate densities. Possible implications of these results for the astrophysics of magnetized compact objects are indicated.
