We demonstrate that astrophysical constraints on the dense-matter equation of state place
an upper bound on the color-superconducting gap in dense matter above the transition from …

Deconfined quark matter at asymptotically high densities is weakly coupled, due to the
asymptotic freedom of quantum chromodynamics. In this weak-coupling regime, bulk …

We derive robust bounds on the equation of state (EOS) at finite baryon chemical potential
using QCD inequalities and input from recent lattice-QCD calculations of thermodynamic …

Nonperturbative inequalities constrain the thermodynamic pressure of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) with its phase-quenched version, a sign-problem-free theory …

We explore the consequences of imposing robust thermodynamic constraints arising from
perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) when inferring the dense-matter equation-of …

We present a phenomenological model to investigate the chiral phase transition
characterized by parity doubling in dense, beta equilibrated, cold matter. Our model …

A bstract The equation of state of QCD matter at high densities is relevant for neutron star
structure and for neutron star mergers and has been a focus of recent work. We show how …

The structure of the dense-matter equation of state is essential for the phenomenology of
neutron stars. In this work, I relate the thermodynamic properties to the average speed of …

In this paper QCD at large isospin density is studied, which is known to be in the superfluid
state with Cooper pairs carrying the same quantum number as pions. The gap equation …

In this work, we perform a comparative analysis between the density-dependent quark
model and the vector MIT bag model using Bayesian analysis. We use the equations of state …
