TL;DR
This paper reviews the properties of color superconductivity in dense QCD matter and explores how baryons can be described as topological solitons, called superqualitons, within this phase.
Contribution
It introduces a novel bosonic description of baryons in color-flavor locked quark matter using Skyrmion-like superqualitons.
Findings
Color-flavor locked quark matter can be described by bosonic degrees of freedom.
Baryons are realized as superqualitons in the color superconducting phase.
The approach links gapped quarks and Fermi sea to topological solitons.
Abstract
QCD predicts matter at high density should exhibit color superconductivity. We review briefly several pertinent properties of color superconductivity and then discuss how baryons are realized in color superconductors. Especially, we explain an attempt to describe the color-flavor locked quark matter in terms of bosonic degrees of freedom, where the gaped quarks and Fermi sea are realized as Skyrmions, called superqualitons, and Q-matter, respectively.
