We review results for the phase diagram of QCD, the properties of quarks and gluons and
the resulting properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and chemical …

We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter
at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics …

We discuss the phase structure of QCD for N f= 2 and N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors at
finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the …

In the context of the massive secondary object recently observed in the compact-star merger
GW190814, we investigate the possibility of producing massive neutron stars from a few …

We discuss a realization of the nonrelativistic conformal group (the Schrödinger group) as
the symmetry of a spacetime. We write down a toy model in which this geometry is a solution …

We present extensive studies on hot and dense quark matter with two light and one heavy
flavors in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model with the Polyakov loop (so-called PNJL model) …

Recent advances in our understanding of the phase structure and the phase transitions of
hadronic matter in strong magnetic fields B and zero quark chemical potentials μ f are …

The theory of the strong interaction, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), describes the
generation of hadronic masses and the state of hadronic matter during the early stages of …

We survey contemporary studies of hadrons and strongly interacting quarks using QCD's
Dyson—Schwinger equations, addressing the following aspects: confinement and …

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 …
