Description

The pion mass in the nuclear matter is protected by the chiral symmetry, which makes the existence of the S-wave pion condensation in the neutron star most unlikely. Some subtleties related to the calculation by the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory of the pion mass in the dense matter are discussed
