Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories to study dense matter in quantum chromodynamics
(QCD). The observable mass-radius relations of neutron stars are determined by QCD …

Lattice simulations of the QCD correlation functions in the Landau gauge have established
two remarkable facts. First, the coupling constant in the gauge sector—defined, eg, in the …

The recent NICER measurement of the radius of the neutron star PSR J0740+ 6620, and the
inferred small variation of radii from 1.4 to 2.1 M⊙, reveal key features of the equation of …

We discuss stiffening of matter in quark-hadron continuity. We introduce a model that relates
quark wave functions in a baryon and the occupation probability of states for baryons and …

The thermodynamic properties of high temperature and high density QCD matter are
explored within the chiral SU (3)-flavor parity-doublet Polyakov-loop quark-hadron mean …

We discuss stiffening of dense matter in two color QCD (QC 2 D) where hadrons are mesons
and diquark baryons. We study two models which describe a transition of matter from the …

We review the chiral variant and invariant components of nucleon masses and the
consequence of their existence on the chiral restoration in extreme conditions, particularly in …

We construct an equation of state (EOS) for neutron stars by interpolating hadronic EOS at
low density and quark EOS at high density. A hadronic model based on the parity doublet …

I make two comments about nuclear matter. First, I consider the effects of a coupling
between the O (4) chiral field, ϕ→, and the ω μ meson,∼+ ϕ→ 2 ω μ 2; for any net baryon …

Nonperturbative equations of state (EoSs) for two and three quark flavors are constructed
with the functional renormalization group (FRG) within a quark-meson model truncation …
