● Why CS? Why CS? For an arbitrary attractive interaction it is energetically convenient the formation of Cooper pairs (difermions)
●Due to asymptotic freedom quarks are almost free at high density and we expect diquark condensation in the color attractive channel 3* (the channel 6 is repulsive).

● For || > (= e/2) 2 gapped quarks become gapless. The gapped quarks begin to unpair destroying the BCS solution. But a new stable phase exists, the gapless 2SC (g2SC) phase.● It is the unstable phase (Sarma phase) which becomes stable in this case (and in gCFL, see later) when charge neutrality is required.

● Gluon condensation. Assuming artificially <A 3> or <A 8> not zero (of order 10 MeV) this can be done (RC et
al. 2004) . In g2SC the chromomagnetic instability can be cured by a chromo-magnetic condensate (Gorbar, Hashimoto, Miransky, 2005 & 2006; Kiriyama, Rischke, Shovkovy, 2006). Rotational symmetry is broken and this makes a connection with the inhomogeneous LOFF phase (see later). At the moment no extension to the three flavor case.

● CFL-K0 phase. When the stress is not too large (high density) the CFL pattern might be modified by a flavor rotation of the condensate equivalent to a condensate of K0 mesons (Bedaque, Schafer 2002). This occurs for ms > m1/3 2/3. Also in this phase gapless modes are present and the gluonic instability arises (Kryjevski, Schafer 2005, Kryjevski, Yamada 2005). With a space dependent condensate a current can be generated which resolves the instability. Again some relations with the LOFF phase.

● Single flavor pairing. If the stress is too big single flavor pairing could occur but the gap is generally too small. It could be important at low before the nuclear phase (see for instance Alford 2006)
● Secondary pairing. The gapless modes could pair forming a secondary gap, but the gap is far too small (Huang, Shovkovy, 2003; Hong 2005; Alford, Wang, 2005)
● Mixed phases of nuclear and quark matter (Alford, Rajagopal, Reddy, Wilczek, 2001) as well as mixed phases between different CS phases, have been found either unstable or energetically disfavored (Neumann, Buballa, Oertel, 2002; Alford, Kouvaris, Rajagopal, 2004).

● LOFF ((Larkin, Ovchinnikov; Fulde & Ferrel, 1964):): ferromagnetic alloy with paramagnetic impurities.

Conclusions
● Various phases are competing, many of them having gapless modes. However, when such modes are present a chromomagnetic instability arises.
● Also the LOFF phase is gapless but the gluon instability does not seem to appear.
● Recent studies of the LOFF phase with three flavors seem to suggest that this should be the favored phase after CFL, although this study is very much simplified and more careful investigations should be performed.
● The problem of the QCD phases at moderate densities and low temperature is still open.
