title: Kaon condensation in high-density quark matter.
abstract: We point out that the problem of kaon condensation in dense hadronic matter can be addressed in perturbative QCD. Indeed, perturbative calculations suggest that negative kaons are condensed in high-density quark matter if the presence of electrons is taken into account. This observation sheds new light on the proposal that the low-density hyperon and high-density quark matter phases of QCD are continuously connected.
