Some recent progress on quark pairings in dense quark and nuclear matter

Abstract

We give a brief overview on some recent progress in quark pairings in dense quark/nuclear matter mostly developed in the past five years. We focus on following aspects in particular: the BCS-BEC crossover in the CSC phase, the baryon formation and dissociation in dense quark/nuclear matter, the Ginzburg-Landau theory for three-flavor dense matter with $U_{A}$(1) anomaly, and the collective and Nambu-Goldstone modes for the spin-one CSC.Comment: RevTex 4, 25 pages, 9 figures, presented for the KITPC (Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics China) program "AdS/CFT and Novel Approaches to Hadron and Heavy Ion Physics' in Oct. 11- Dec. 3, 201
