We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations in QCD at high densities offer significant and
nontrivial information about the equation of state of matter in the cores of neutron stars …

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 …

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …

A bstract The equation of state of neutron-star cores can be constrained by requiring a
consistent connection to the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations at …

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

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

Measurements of neutron star masses, radii, and tidal deformability have direct connections
to nuclear physics via the equation of state (EoS), which for the cold, catalyzed matter in …

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 …

We compute the pressure from first principles within perturbative QCD at finite baryon
density and very high magnetic fields up to two-loops and with physical quark masses. The …
