We point out that there is an upper bound on the speed of sound squared given by cs 2≤
0.781 valid for all known systems described by relativistic transient hydrodynamics where …

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 …

In this work we investigate the minimal physical requirements needed for generating a
speed of sound that surpasses its asymptotic conformal limit. It is shown that a peak in the …

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 …

QCD with the isospin chemical potential μ I is a useful laboratory to delineate the
microphysics in dense QCD. To study the quark–hadron continuity, we use a quark–meson …

This work extends our previous study of isospin symmetric quarkyonic matter to quarkyonic
neutron matter which might be relevant to the inner cores of neutron stars. The vector …

We extend the recently developed quantum van der Waals quarkyonic matter to non-zero
isospin asymmetries by utilizing the two-component van der Waals equation with a …

We present a novel unified approach to describe the dense symmetric nuclear matter by
combining the quarkyonic matter framework with the parity doublet model. This integration …

QCD with the isospin chemical potential µI is a useful laboratory to delineate the
microphysics in dense QCD. To study the quark–hadron continuity, we use a quark–meson …

I review the essential features of Quarkyonic Matter. I argue how such features can be
included in a field theoretical description. This field theory has nucleons and quarks …
