The quon algebra describes particles, ``quons,'' that are neither fermions nor bosons, using a label $q$ that parametrizes a smooth interpolation between bosons ($q = 1$) and fermions ($q = -1$). Understanding the relation of quons on the…
We develop a set of coupled Boltzmann equations to describe the dynamical evolution of heavy quarks and quarkonia inside the quark-gluon plasma. The quarkonium dissociation and recombination terms are calculated from pNRQCD. Their interplay…
We present a model of cold QCD matter that bridges nuclear and quark matter through the duality relation between quarks and baryons. The baryon number and energy densities are expressed as functionals of either the baryon momentum…
The production of quarkonium in heavy ion collisions is studied at RHIC and LHC energies. General arguments indicate that, due to initial production of multiple quark pairs in each central collision, the final population of quarkonium may…
The dynamics of {\it light} fermions propagating in a spatial direction at high temperatures can be described effectively by a two--dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with {\it heavy} effective mass $m_{\rm eff} = \pi T$. Starting from QED,…
When a brane-anti-brane system includes two tachyons, each of them produces a BIoninc wormhole. These wormholes interact with each other and form 4 regions. Two of the regions are related to the independent BIons which have been considered…
Dualities provide deep insight into physics by relating two seemingly distinct theories. Here we propose and elaborate on a novel duality between bosonic and fermionic theories in four spacetime dimensions. Starting with a Euclidean lattice…
We have studied the dissociation of quarkonia states in a deconfined medium of quarks and gluons at the large baryon chemical potential and small temperature region. The aim of this study is to probe the dense baryonic medium expected to be…
Conventionally ordered magnets possess bosonic elementary excitations, called magnons. By contrast, no magnetic insulators in more than one dimension are known whose excitations are not bosons but fermions. Theoretically, some quantum spin…
This is a plenary talk given at Quark Matter 2025, summarizing recent theoretical developments for the understanding of quarkonium production in relativistic heavy ion collisions and how quarkonium uniquely probes the deconfined phase of…
We model the transition of a system of quarks and gluons at high energies to a system of quarks and mesons at low energies in a consistent renormalization group approach. Flow equations interpolate between the physics of the…
We examine three different ways a heavy quarkonium can dissociate at high temperatures. The heavy quarkonium can dissociate spontaneously when it becomes unbound at a temperature above its dissociation temperature. Following the recent work…
We use the open quantum system formalism to study the dynamical in-medium evolution of quarkonium. The system of quarkonium is described by potential non-relativistic QCD while the environment is a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma in local…
The Chiral Dilaton Model, where baryons arise as non-topological solitons built from the interaction of quarks and chiral mesons, shows in the high density low temperature regime a two phase scenario in the nuclear matter phase diagram.…
Quarkonium production in ultrarelativistic heavy ions collisions is one of the best probes of the QGP formed in these collisions. Resorting to accurate methods to describe the $Q\bar{Q}$ evolution in a QGP is a prerequisite for the precise…
We study the thermal production of kaons in hot and dense symmetric and asymmetric hypernuclear matter in the context of the modified quark-meson coupling model. All the baryon species and kaons are treated as MIT bags that interact with…
The size of the average fluctuations of net baryon number and electric charge in a finite volume of hadronic matter differs widely between the confined and deconfined phases. These differences may be exploited as indicators of the formation…
We study the approach to equilibrium of bottomonium in the quark-gluon plasma within the open quantum system framework. We perform large-scale simulations of the long-time behavior in three dimensions using the quantum trajectory method to…
In these lectures we discuss condensates which are formed in quark matter when it is squeezed and in a gas of fermionic atoms when it is cooled. The behavior of these two seemingly very different systems reveals striking similarities. In…
The goal of this section is to assess the possibility that quarkonium production rates may be enhanced in nucleus-nucleus interactions at the LHC relative to that predicted by extrapolation of processes thought to be dominant at lower…
