In the hypersphere soliton model (HSM), we study the geometrical inner structures and the ensuing charge distributions of the nucleons by exploiting the aspect of the HSM where the hypersphere soliton is described by an extended object…
The quark-gluon properties of the nucleon are probed by a host of recent and planned experiments. These involve elastic, deep-inelastic, semi-inclusive deep-inelastic (SIDIS), and deeply-virtual Compton scattering. A light-front description…
We present a general-relativistic study of the distribution of proton superconductivity in strongly magnetized neutron stars (NSs), using the XNS code to solve the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations. We investigate equilibrium…
We show that the lightly doped La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} can be described in terms of a stripe magnetic structure or soliton picture. The internal relationship between the recent neutron observation of the diagonal (x=0.05) to vertical (x >=…
We investigate the relation between the topology of a nucleon and its spin composition. We approach this question in (1+1) dimensional single-flavor QCD with a large number of color. In this limit the theory can be shown to be dual to the…
I review recent results regarding the nucleon charge and magnetization densities as well as the shape of the nucleon. First, some phenomenolgical considerations that show that the shape of the proton is not round are discussed. Then model…
The poorly known crustal equation of state plays a critical role in many observational phenomena associated with a neutron star. Using semi-classical Monte Carlo simulations, we explore the possible configurations of the inner edge of the…
The different superfluid phases of $^3$He are described by $p$-wave order parameters that include anisotropy axes both in the orbital and spin spaces. The anisotropy axes characterize the broken symmetries in these macroscopically coherent…
The interaction between nucleons and hyperons - baryons containing a strange quark - is key to understanding the properties of dense nuclear matter, such as that expected in the interior of neutron stars. Direct scattering experiments are…
We study surface effects of neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids in neutron stars. $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluids are in uniaxial nematic (UN), D$_{2}$ biaxial nematic (BN), or D$_{4}$ BN phase, depending on the strength of magnetic fields from small…
We describe distinctive stellar features indicating the presence of hyperons in neutron stars as compared to purely nucleonic systems. A strongly negative curvature of the mass-radius relation $R(M)$ is characteristic of hyperons, which can…
We present an algebraic approach to the internal structure of baryons in terms of three constituents. We investigate a collective model in which the nucleon is regarded as a rotating and vibrating oblate top with a prescribed distribution…
In this work, we explore two classes of density dependent relativistic mean-field models, their predictions of proton fractions at high densities and neutron star structure. We have used a metamodelling approach to these relativistic…
Analyses of high energy elastic pp and $\bar pp$ scattering data from CERN ISR and SPS Collider seem to provide strong evidence in favor of the gauged nonlinear sigma-model of the nucleon. This model describes the nucleon as a topological…
The properties of neutron stars are studied in a composite model of the strong interaction. In the regime of low to medium baryonic densities a covariant hadronic model is adopted which includes an exclusive channel for the hyperon-hyperon…
The production of light nuclei and hypernuclei together with heavy baryons, both hyperons and $\Delta$-baryons, in low density matter as found in stellar environments such as supernova or binary mergers is studied within relativistic…
The Nambu - Jona-Lasinio model in its SU(2) and SU(3) versions with scalar and pseudoscalar coupling are applied to baryons. The parameters of the model are fixed in the meson sector. The baryons arise as a soliton of three valence quarks…
We study the effects of an elastic crust on the oscillation spectrum of superfluid neutron stars. Within the two fluid formalism, we consider Newtonian stellar models that include the relevant constituents of a mature neutron stars. The…
Soliton molecules, bound states of two solitons, can be important for the informatics using solitons and the quest for exotic particles in a wide range of physical systems from unconventional superconductors to nuclear matter and Higgs…
In this work, we study the effects of $\Lambda$-hyperons on neutron star properties employing a metamodel framework for the equation of state (EoS). Different choices for defining the hyperonic couplings with different levels of parametric…
