Inhomogeneous phases in the quark-meson model with explicit chiral-symmetry breaking (2006.02133v2)
Published 3 Jun 2020 in hep-ph and nucl-th
Abstract: We investigate the existence of inhomogeneous chiral phases in the quark-meson model with explicit chiral-symmetry breaking. We find that the inhomogeneous region shrinks with increasing pion masses but survives for the physical value of m_pi. The instability towards inhomogeneous matter occurs in the scalar channel, while pseudoscalar modes are disfavored.
