In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

Investigations of deconfined quark matter within NJL-type models are reviewed, focusing on
the regime of low temperatures and “moderate” densities, which is not accessible by …

Classically conformal Standard Model extensions predict an intriguing thermal history of the
early Universe. In contrast to the common paradigm, the onset of the electroweak phase …

The QCD phase diagram at zero chemical potential and finite temperature subject to an
external magnetic field is studied within the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model …

We analyze recent results of SU (3) lattice QCD calculations with a phenomenological
parametrization for the quark-gluon plasma equation of state based on a quasiparticle …

We construct an equation of state for massive neutron stars based on quantum
chromodynamics phenomenology. Our primary purpose is to delineate the relevant …

We study the phase diagram of dense, locally neutral three-flavor quark matter within the
framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. In the analysis, dynamically generated quark …

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) …

In this paper, we explore whether or not quark deconfinement may occur in high-mass
neutron stars such as J1614− 2230 (1.97±0.04 M⊙) and J0348+ 0432 (2.01±0.04 M⊙). Our …

We extend the Polyakov-loop improved Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to 2+ 1 flavor case to
study the chiral and deconfinement transitions of strongly interacting matter at finite …
