The Coulomb interaction effect and the surface effect are consistently taken into account in the hadron-quark mixed phase. These two finite-size effects greatly change the properties of the mixed phase and restrict its density region. In…
Non-uniform structures of the nucleon matter are expected at subnuclear densities and above the nuclear density: they are called nuclear pastas and kaon pastas, respectively. We numerically study these phases by means of the density…

Plane wave density functional theory codes generally assume periodicity in all three dimensions. This causes difficulties when studying charged systems, for instance energies per unit cell become infinite, and, even after being renormalised…
We study the effects of the finite size of baryons on the equation of state of homogeneous hadronic matter. The finite extension of hadrons is introduced in order to improve the performance of field theoretical models at very high…
In these lectures we discuss the uses of effective field theory in studying dense hadronic matter. We focus on two regimes in the phase diagram. At low baryon density nucleons can be described as non-relativistic point particles interacting…

In this paper, we consider the field model for complex ionic fluids with an energy variational structure, and analyze the well-posedness to this model with regularized kernels. Furthermore, we deduce the estimate of the maximal density…
