Dense quantum chromodynamic matter accommodates various kind of topological solitons
such as vortices, domain walls, monopoles, kinks, boojums, and so on. In this review, we …

Finite-volume effects in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) have been a subject of much
theoretical interest for more than two decades. They are in particular important for the …

We investigate finite-size effects on the chiral phase diagram of strong interactions within the
linear sigma model coupled to quarks. We estimate the modification of the pseudocritical …

We study the QCD phase structure in the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model,
incorporating the interplay between the chiral and diquark condensates induced by the axial …

Given the short lifetime and small volume of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy
ion collisions, a possible critical endpoint (CEP) will be blurred in a region and the effects …

A bstract We study the singular values of the Dirac operator in dense QCD-like theories at
zero temperature. The Dirac singular values are real and nonnegative at any nonzero quark …

A bstract We argue that the whole or the part of the phase diagrams of QCD and QCD-like
theories should be universal in the large-N c limit through the orbifold equivalence. The …

In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the role which topologically nontrivial configurations
play in splitting the singlet pseudo-Goldstone meson, the η′, from the octet is familiar. In …

Predicting the phase diagram of interacting quantum many-body systems is a central
problem in condensed matter physics and related fields. A variety of quantum many-body …

We analytically study two-color QCD with an even number of flavors at high baryon density.
This theory is free from the fermion sign problem. Chiral symmetry is broken spontaneously …
