“…This follows from the fact that in the limit of large N c the quantum fluctuations, which would otherwise destroy a long-range order corresponding to a spontaneous symmetry breaking, are suppressed by 1/N c factors. Thus, the effects inherent for real dense quark matter, such as color superconductivity (spontaneous breaking of the continuous color symmetry) or charged pion condensation (spontaneous breaking of the continuous isospin symmetry) might be simulated in terms of a simpler (1+1)-dimensional GN-type model, though only in the leading order of the large N c approximation (see, e.g., [26,30] and [31,32], respectively). Finally, one should recall that both the chiral phase transition [33] and color superconductivity [30] were investigated in the framework of GN models with account of the nontrivial R 1 × S 1 spacetime topology.…”
