Conditions for Phase Equilibrium in Supernovae, Proto-Neutron and Neutron Stars

Understand

We investigate the qualitative properties of phase transitions in a general way, if not the single particle numbers of the system but only some particular charges like e.g.

• baryon number are conserved.
• In addition to globally conserved charges we analyze the implications of locally conserved charge fractions, like e.g.
• local electric charge neutrality or locally fixed proton or lepton fractions.
