We investigate the temperature and density dependence of the color flux tube structure of dense two-color QCD with $N_f = 2$ Wilson fermions by using a lattice simulation. From Refs. [1] and [2], we have already clarified the rich phase…

In this work we consider strange stars formed by quark matter in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase of color superconductivity. The CFL phase is described by a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with four-fermion vector and diquark interaction…

We consider the two- and three-flavor QMD models as renormalizable low-energy models for QCD at finite quark chemical potentials with quarks, mesons, and diquarks as effective degrees of freedom. Using the on-shell scheme the parameters in…
Owing to the emergence of attractive interactions between quarks, color superconductivity is expected to occur, with the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase favored at high densities. This work investigates the absolute stability of…
This thesis is devoted to properties of quark matter at high density and (comparatively) low temperature, which might exist in the interior of compact stars. The specific heat and the quark self energy in normal quark matter are discussed…

We investigate collective excitations coupled with baryon density in a system of massless three-flavor quarks in the collisionless regime. By using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in the mean-field approximation, we derive the spectra…
At large baryon number density, it is likely that the ground state of QCD is a color-flavor-locked phase with a K0 condensate. The CFL+K0 phase is known to support superconducting vortex strings, and it has been previously suggested that it…
In neutral cold quark matter that is sufficiently dense that the strange quark mass M_s is unimportant, all nine quarks (three colors; three flavors) pair in a color-flavor locked (CFL) pattern, and all fermionic quasiparticles have a gap.…
Quark-hadron continuity was proposed as crossover between hadronic matter and quark matter without a phase transition, based on the matching of the symmetry and excitations in both phases. In the limit of a light strange-quark mass, it…
Glasses are amorphous solids, in the sense that they display elastic behaviour. In crystals, elasticity is associated with phonons, quantized sound-wave excitations. Phonon-like excitations exist also in glasses at very high frequencies…
The gapless color-flavor locked (gCFL) phase is the second-densest phase of matter in the QCD phase diagram, making it a plausible constituent of the core of neutron stars. We show that even a relatively small region of gCFL matter in a…
