Description

For decades now, low-energy models of QCD have shown indications that a crystalline quark phase could be stable at high chemical potentials. Beyond models, however, there are numerous difficulties in investigating such a hypothesis in full QCD, such as the sign problem. Functional methods do not suffer from the sign problem, and thus, can access the high-$\mu$ side of the QCD phase diagram. In this talk, I will show how it is possible to perform a stability analysis of homogeneous phases in QCD using Dyson-Schwinger Equations (DSEs).
