Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I would like to invite you to the following seminar,<br>
<br>
Dr. Nobutoshi Yasutake<br>

29th August, 11:00h, F-201<br>
<br>
In this seminar, we introduce the possibility of two types of<br>
inhomogeneous phases in the core of neutron stars: one is the
Coulomb<br>
crystal, which is known as quark-hadron pasta structures, and
another<br>
one is chiral crystal. The optimal structures are obtained by a<br>
numerical approach based on the valuational principle in the both<br>
cases. In Coulomb crystal, the inhomogeneous phase appears as the<br>
result of the balance between the surface tension and Coulomb<br>
interaction. In chiral crystal, we study the inhomogeneous chiral<br>
condensation, which has space dependency. In the simple model in
1+1<br>
dimension, this condensation has the same formulation with FFLO
state,<br>
which is well known in the condensed matter physics. We hope
fruitful<br>
discussion and comments through this seminar.<br>
