Abstract

We review efforts to study, using the methods of lattice field theory, the phenomenon of diquark condensation via BCS pairing at a Fermi surface, which has been proposed as a mechanism for color superconductivity in dense quark matter. The particular models studied are the Gross-Neveu model and SU(2) lattice gauge theory; in both cases evidence for superfluidity at high density is presented. The behaviour expected for quarks in both fundamental and adjoint representations of SU(2) is contrasted.
