What is Antikaon Condensation and the Metastability of Protoneutron Stars about?

We investigate the condensation of $\bar K^0$ meson along with $K^-$ condensation in the neutrino trapped matter with and without hyperons. Calculations are performed in the relativistic mean field models in which both the baryon-baryon and (anti)kaon-baryon interactions are mediated by meson exchange. In the neutrino trapped matter relevant to protoneutron stars, the critical density of $K^-$ condensation is shifted considerably to higher density whereas that of $\bar K^0$ condensation is shifted slightly to higher density with respect to that of the neutrino free case. The onset of $K^-$ condensation always occurs earlier than that of $\bar K^0$ condensation. A significant region of maximum mass protoneutron stars is found to contain $\bar K^0$ condensate for larger values of the antikaon potential. With the appearance of $\bar K^0$ condensation, there is a region of symmetric nuclear matter in the inner core of a protoneutron star. It is found that the maximum mass of a protoneutron star containing $K^-$ and $\bar K^0$ condensate is greater than that of the corresponding neutron star. We revisit the implication of this scenario in the context of the metastability of protoneutron
