This is a cluster of papers wherein the methods of superconductivity theory are applied to QCD at high density. Some earlier work on this subject had been done by Leinaas and Myrheim, and roughly contemporary independent work on the foundations was done by Goldin, Menikoff, and Sharp. One aspect of this, which requires less radical departures than the full program, is a connection between the meaning of the cosmolog- ical term (initial value versus microscopically determinate) and the question whether one should require invariance under volume-changing transformations.

In Item 99, Zee and I showed how one could extend Berrys celebrated phase to a nonabelian setting.
