Viscoelastic and thermal response on nuclear pasta states at finite baryon density
We compute the viscoelastic and thermal response of non-homogeneous hadronic condensates at finite baryon density representing crystals of baryonic tubes and layers. We describe them using analytic solutions of the Skyrme model in $3+1$ dimensions as ground states for a perturbative approach. At low enough temperatures, the lowest-energy excitations are described by a free massless scalar field theory in $1+1$ dimensions. We apply the Green-Kubo formulas to such excitations to obtain the elasticity tensor and other response coefficients. The analytic results of our computations are compared with available results on the nuclear pasta phase.
