Lecture on Quarkyonic Effective Field Theory
I review the essential features of Quarkyonic Matter. I argue how such features can be included in a field theoretical description. This field theory has nucleons and quarks because close to the Fermi surface, the degrees of freedom of Quarkyonic Matter are nucleons and inside the Fermi sea, they are quarks. Ghost nucleon fields are needed to avoid over-counting degrees of freedom, and to allow the physical nucleon degrees of freedom not to extend within the quark Fermi sea.
