Zhitnitsky Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1, Canada (Dated: February 1, 2008) Recently it was shown that high density QCD supports of number of topological defects. In particular, there are U(1)Y strings that arise due to K 0 condensation that occurs when the strange quark mass is relatively large. The unique feature of these strings is that they possess a nonzero K + condensate that is t
