This review explores the current understanding of collective excitations and the dynamics of
heavy quark propagation in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in relativistic heavy-ion …

We have considered the contribution of fermionic vacuum loop in the effective potential of
Polyakov loop extended quark-meson model (PQM) for the two-quark flavor case and …

We discuss a novel mechanism for segregation of baryons and antibaryons in the quark-
gluon plasma phase which can lead to formation of quark and antiquark nuggets in the early …

In this brief review, I discuss some of the effects of the Nambu Goto cosmic strings in the
early universe. Nambu Goto strings are formed from symmetry breaking phase transitions in …

We study the dynamics of confinement-deconfinement phase transition in the context of
relativistic heavy-ion collisions within the framework of effective models for the Polyakov …

The meson masses and mixing angles have been calculated for the scalar and
pseudoscalar sector in the framework of the generalized 2+ 1 flavor Polyakov loop …

The tree-level parameters of the 2+ 1 flavor quark-meson model become inconsistent when
the quark one-loop vacuum fluctuation is included in its effective potential. Relating the …

Augmenting the improved chiral effective potential of the on-shell renormalized 2+ 1 flavor
quark-meson (RQM) model with the Polyakov-loop potential that accounts for the …

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase structure has been studied using the Polyakov-
loop augmented quark-meson model (PQM) in the extended mean field approximation (e …

We compute and compare the effective potential and phase structure for the quark-meson
model in an extended mean-field approximation when vacuum one-loop quark fluctuations …
