Mass-induced crystalline color superconductivity

After reviewing the idea of color superconductivity in quark matter, I plan to discuss a proposed color superconducting state with a crystalline structure.  This crystalline state could be the ground state of quark matter when quarks have different Fermi momenta, due either to chemical potential differences or mass differences.  I will further discuss the specific effects of chemical potential differences and mass differences.
