Title:
Field Theory for Quantum Matter in Dwarf Stars

Speaker:
David Pirtskhalava

Abstract:
I will review arguments that support existence of a quantum phase of matter (a condensate of charged bosons) under conditions, found in dwarf stars. The precise properties of this phase and of its long-distance fluctuations can be explored with the help of an appropriate effective field theory. After formulating the latter theory, I will briefly discuss its implications for the cooling history of Helium white dwarf stars.
