matter in which gluonic degrees of freedom play a crucial role. We call it a gluonic phase. In
this phase gluonic dynamics cure a chromomagnetic instability in the 2SC solution and lead
to spontaneous breakdown of the color gauge symmetry, the electromagnetic U (1), and the
rotational SO (3). In other words, the gluonic phase describes an anisotropic medium in
which the color and electric superconductivities coexist. Because most of the initial …
