✦ Synopsis
We study fermionic quasi-particles in QCD at very high baryon density. In the normal quark matter phase unscreened magnetic gluon exchanges lead to non-Fermi liquid behavior. Non-Fermi liquid effects manifest themselves in low energy Green functions that depend on logarithms and fractional powers of energy. In the superfluid phase there is an energy gap for fermionic excitations. Quark mass effects can cause the energy gap to vanish. Gapless fermions in the color flavor locked phase cause an instability towards a state with a non-zero supercurrent.

The phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is explored as a function of temperature and baryon number density. We investigate the possible simultaneous formation of condensates in the conventional quark-anti-quark channel (breaking chiral symmetry) and in a quark-quark channel leading to color
The talk is an introduction into diquark condensation phenomena which occur in QCD at high energy density. They are driven by instantons and instanton-antiinstanton pairs (or "molecules"), which generate attraction in some qq channels. A number of phases is possible, with or without restoration of
We discuss the application of QCD sum rules method to investigation of nucleon properties in nuclear matter. The method proved itself to be an adequate tool for approaching various problems, including those which are inaccessible for traditional nuclear physics. We obtained reasonable results for t
