Key Observations!• Large Nc QCD (good to describe nonperturbative effects
"" "" "" "" "" "of QCD: meson parameters, parton distributions)
Large Nc Limit: gs2Nc = constant!
‘tHoo$’74, Wi,en’79
• Vacuum Gluon and Quark Contributions
gs2 Nc ~ 1 gs
2 ~ 1/Nc
• Finite Density Screening effects ~ μ2/Nc!
only important at very high density

Dimensional Reduction at B=0!
Can neglect p⊥ in the quark propagator, because in the !patch at the Fermi surface p⊥< ΛQCD << µ and !
then,!

Preliminary Findings:!Ferrer, VI, and Sanchez, in prep.!In the equatorial patch the contribution is very similar to the case at B=0 since the LLs are very close to each other. Only one type of quarkyonic spiral in this patch.!
Equatorial Patch!
Has B anything else hidden in the drawer?!
Galilo & Nedelko ’11 !In a strong magnetic field the gluon field configuration that minimize the action does not support confinement of quarks !
Miransky & Shovkovy ’02 !In a strong magnetic the confining scale is smaller! (for Nc< Nc
thr)! λQCD< ΛQCD !!
Findings at μ=0:!
Can B increase the screening by modifying mD?!
Quarkyonic!
