Abstract: In QCD at high density, the color-octet quark-antiquark condensate $langleoverlinepsigamm{a}_0(lambd{a}^A{)}_C(lambd{a}^A{)}_{F}psiangle$ is generally nonzero and dynamically breaks the $mathrmSU(3{)}_{C}imesmathrmSU(3{)}_{L}imesmathrmSU(3{)}_R$ symmetry down to the diagonal $mathrmSU(3{)}_V$. We evaluate this condensate in the mean-field approximation and find that it is of order $muDelt{a}^{2}log(mu/Delta)$ where $Delta$ is the BCS gap of quarks. Next we propose a novel non-Hermitian chiral random matrix theory that describes the formation of colorful quark-antiquark condensates. We take the microscopic large-$N$ limit and find that three phases appear depending on the parameter of the model. They are the color-flavor locked phase, the polar phase, and the normal phase. We rigorously derive the effective theory of Nambu-Goldstone modes and determine the quark-mass dependence of the partition function.
