Kaon condensation in high-density quark matter.
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.
