trailTopological order or vortex statistics sharply distinguish the color-flavor-locked phase from superfluid hadronic matter
Color-flavor-locked quark matter and hadronic matter share the same symmetry-breaking pattern, permitting quark-hadron continuity
Topological order can distinguish phases of matter that have identical symmetry realization
Aharonov-Bohm order parameter· for
Aharonov-Bohm phases of test quarks around superfluid vortices distinguish Higgs from confining regimes
Test quarks acquire fractional Aharonov-Bohm phases around superfluid vortices in the Higgs regime
Aharonov-Bohm phases of dressed quark quasiparticles interpolate smoothly between Higgs and confining regimes
The physically meaningful Aharonov-Bohm phase of a test quark in a superfluid is that of the dressed charge
