Abstract: (Elsevier)
This paper presents several stable models of charged-pion condensed neutron star matter. The non-relativistic limit of the chirally symmetric Weinberg Lagrangian is used to describe interactions of the condensed pion field with the nucleons, as well as the pi-pi interactions of the condensed field. In the absence of nucleon-nucleon interactions, matter in this model is unstable, tending to ever-increasing baryon density and condensate wave vector. The connection of this model of condensation with the σ-model is shown.
