We analyze color superconductivity of one massive flavor quark matter at moderate baryon density with a spin-zero color-sextet condensate. The most general Higgs-type ground-state expectation value of the order parameter implies complete breakdown of the SU(3)xU(1) symmetry. However, both the conventional fourth-order polynomial effective bosonic description, and the NJL-type fermionic description in the mean-field approximation favor an enhanced SO(3) symmetry of the ground state. We ascribe this finding to the failure of the mean-field approximation and propose that a more sophisticated technique is needed.

The color memory effect is the non-abelian gauge theory analog of the gravitational memory effect, in which the passage of color radiation induces a net relative SU(3) color rotation of a pair of nearby quarks. It is proposed that this effect can be measured in the Regge limit of deeply inelastic scattering at electron-ion colliders.
We have recently shown that the ground state of ${cal N} = 4$, SU($N_{rm{tiny c}}$) super Yang--Mills coupled to $N_{rm{tiny f}} ll N_{rm{tiny c}}$ flavors, in the presence of non-zero isospin and R-symmetry charges, is a supersymmetric, superfluid, color superconductor. The holographic description consists of $N_{rm{tiny f}}$ D7-brane probes in AdS$_5times$S$^5$ with electric and instantonic fields on their worldvolume. These correspond to fundamental strings and D3-branes dissolved on the D7-branes, respectively. Here we use this description to determine the spectrum of mesonic excitations. As expected for a charged superfluid we find non-relativistic, massless Goldstone modes. We also find extra ungapped modes that are not associated to the breaking of any global symmetries but to the supersymmetric nature of the ground state. If the quark mass is much smaller than the scale of spontaneous symmetry breaking a pseudo-Goldstone boson is also present. We highlight some new features that appear only for $N_{rm{tiny f}}> 2$. We show that, in the generic case of unequal R-symmetry charges, the dissolved strings and D3-branes blow up into a D5-brane supertube stretched between the D7-branes.
We use holography to study $d=4$, $mathcal{N}=4$, SU($N_{rm tiny{c}}$) super Yang-Mills coupled to $N_{rm tiny{F}} ll N_{rm tiny{c}}$ quark flavors. We place the theory at finite isospin density $n_{rm tiny{I}}$ by turning on an isospin chemical pote ntial $mu_{rm tiny{I}}=M_{rm tiny{q}}$, with $M_{rm tiny{q}}$ the quark mass. We also turn on two R-symmetry charge densities $n_1=n_2$. We show that the ground state is a supersymmetric, superfluid, color superconductor, namely a finite-density state that preserves a fraction of supersymmetry in which part of the global symmetries and part of the gauge symmetries are spontaneously broken. The holographic description consists of $N_{rm tiny{F}}$ D7-brane probes in $mbox{AdS}_5 times mbox{S}^5$. The symmetry breaking is due to the dissolution of some D3-branes inside the D7-branes triggered by the electric field associated to the isospin charge. The massless spectrum contains Goldstone bosons and their fermionic superpartners. The massive spectrum contains long-lived, mesonic quasi-particles if $n_{rm tiny{I}} ll mu_{rm tiny{I}}^3$, and no quasi-particles otherwise. We discuss the possibility that, despite the presence of mass scales and charge densities in the theory, conformal and relativistic invariance arise as emergent symmetries in the infrared.
We report on a first NLO computation of photon production in p+A collisions at collider energies within the Color Glass Condensate framework, significantly extending previous LO results. At central rapidites, our result is the dominant contribution a nd probes multi-gluon correlators in nuclei. At high photon momenta, the result is directly sensitive to the nuclear gluon distribution. The NLO result contains two processes, the annihilation process and the process with $qbar{q}$ pair and a photon in the final state. We provide a numerical evaluation of the photon spectrum from the annihilation process.

The rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of the nuclear modification ratio for dilepton production at RHIC and LHC is presented, calculated in the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework. The transverse momentum ratio is compared for two distin ct dilepton mass values and a suppression of the Cronin peak is verified even for large mass. The nuclear modification ratio suppression in the dilepton rapidity spectra, as obtained experimentally for hadrons at RHIC, is verified for LHC energies at large transverse momentum, although not present at RHIC energies. The ratio between LHC and RHIC nuclear modification ratios is evaluated in the CGC, showing the large saturation effects at LHC compared with the RHIC results. These results consolidate the dilepton as a most suitable observable to investigate the QCD high density approaches.
