Fermion mass and the pressure of dense matter
We consider a simple toy model to study the effects of finite fermion masses
on the pressure of cold and dense matter, with possible applications in the
physics of condensates in the core of neutron stars and color
superconductivity.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. Presented at Quark Confinement and the Hadron

Dynamic universality class of Model C from the functional renormalization group
We establish new scaling properties for the universality class of Model C,
which describes relaxational critical dynamics of a nonconserved order
parameter coupled to a conserved scalar density. We find an anomalous diffusion
phase, which satisfies weak dynamic scaling while the conserved density
diffuses only asymptotically. The properties of the phase diagram for the
dynamic critical behavior include a significantly extended weak scaling region,
together with a strong and a decoupled scaling regime. These calculations are
done directly in 2 < d < 4 space dimensions within the framework of the
nonperturbative functional renormalization group. The scaling exponents
characterizing the different phases are determined along with subleading
indices featuring the stability properties.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; PRB version, minor change
