Despite their feeble interactions, dense astrophysical neutrinos can behave collectively, exchanging flavor through waves of the neutrino plasma. Can collective interactions also induce pairing instabilities and reorganize the neutrino…
Gravity compresses the matter in the cores of neutron stars to densities which are significantly higher than the density of ordinary atomic nuclei, thus providing a high-pressure environment in which numerous particle processes - from the…

Spontaneous magnetization of quark liquid is examined on the analogy with that in electron gas. It is pointed out that quark liquid has potential to be ferromagnetic at rather low densities, around nuclear saturation density. Somme comments…
Quantum Hadrodynamics provides a useful framework for investigating dense matter, yet it breaks down easily when strangeness carrying baryons are introduced into the calculations, as the baryon effective masses become negative due to large…
We present a field theoretical description of quarkyonic matter consisting of quark, nucleon and ghost fields coupling to mesonic degrees of freedom. The ghosts are present to cancel over-counting of nucleon states that are Pauli blocked by…
