SUMMARY:Phase Transitions of Charged Scalars and White Dwarf Stars - Rache
 l Rosen (Stockholm)
DTSTART:20110502T120000Z
DTEND:20110502T130000Z
UID:TALK29408@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Tasos Avgoustidis
DESCRIPTION:Recent works have argued that the cores of certain white dwarf
  stars may contain a new kind of quantum liquid -- a condensate of charged
  spin-0 particles.  In this talk I will present a field-theoretic approach
  to studying the properties of this state of matter at finite temperature 
 and the phase transition into this state.  I will discuss evidence that th
 e phase transition in white dwarf stars can be first order.
