We review the constraints imposed by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry of the QCD
vacuum on the hadron properties at finite temperature T and baryon density ρB. A …

We present a novel relativistic density-functional approach to modeling quark matter with a
mechanism to mimic confinement. The quasiparticle treatment of quarks provides their …

We formulate a covariant transport approach for high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions
where the real part of the nucleon self-energies is fitted to nuclear-matter properties which …

We discuss the fate of chiral symmetry in an extremely strong magnetic field B. We
investigate not only quark fluctuations but also neutral meson effects. The former enhances …

We investigate pion superfluidity and its effect on meson properties and equation of state at
finite temperature and isospin and baryon densities in the frame of a standard flavor SU (2) …

The Polyakov loop extended Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model (PNJL model) in a mean field
framework shows astonishingly good agreement with lattice QCD calculations which needs …

The BEC-BCS (Bose-Einstein condensation–Bardeen-Cooper-Shriffer) crossover in QCD at
finite baryon and isospin chemical potentials is investigated in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio …

We reexamine the recent instanton motivated studies of Alford, Rajagopal, and Wilczek, and
Berges and Rajagopal in the framework of the standard SU (2) Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) …

A nonlocal covariant extension of the two-flavor Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model is
constructed, with built-in constraints from the running coupling of QCD at high-momentum …

We study the possible existence of deconfined quark matter in the interior of neutron stars
using the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to describe the quark phase. We find that typical …
