I give a survey of recent progress in our understanding of QCD at high density and temperature. I pay particular attention to color superconductivity, applications of lattice gauge theory at nonzero density as well as high temperature,…

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…

I discuss recent developments in our understanding of the color-superconducting phases of cold, dense quark matter. I describe the phase diagram as a function of density and the strange quark mass, and outline some ideas about possible…

After reviewing the evidence that QCD matter at ultrarelativistic energies behaves as a very good fluid, we describe the connection of QCD fluidity to heavy quark observables. We review the way in which heavy quark spectra can place tighter…

We formulate a QCD-based effective theory approach to heavy quarkonia-like systems as $\bar{c} c$ and $\bar{b} b$ resonances and $B_c$ states. We apply the method to inclusive decays, working out a few examples in detail.

These lectures are directed at a level suitable for graduate students in experimental and theoretical High Energy Physics. They are intended to give an introduction to the theory and phenomenology of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) as it is…

These lectures provide an overview of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the SU(3) gauge theory of the strong interactions. The running of the strong coupling and the associated property of Asymptotic Freedom are analyzed. Some selected…

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with a general number of colors, $\Nc$, provides a powerful theoretical laboratory to explore the dynamics of non-Abelian gauge theories. Although $\Nc =3$ does not look a large number, the $1/\Nc$ expansion…

The high parton density regime of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), where the physics of parton saturation is expected to be dominant, is briefly discussed. Some phenomenological aspects of saturation are described, mainly focusing on…

QCD at large density reveals a rich phase structure, ranging from a potential critical end point and inhomogeneous phases or moat regimes to color superconducting ones with competing order effects. Resolving this region in the phase diagram…

For the exploration of the phase diagram of QCD, effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lattice QCD provide a valuable tool in the heavy quark mass regime. Using mean field approximations these theories are evaluated in the high and…

We present recent lattice results on QCD thermodynamics at non-vanishing baryon number density obtained from a 6th order Taylor expansion in the chemical potential. Results for bulk thermodynamic observables, in particular for fluctuations…

Our current knowledge of the quark-gluon plasma in thermodynamical equilibrium is reviewed. The phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed, with emphasis on the quark-hadron phase transition and the color-superconducting…

Using a unified hadron-quark effective model for the QCD equation of state, this paper studies the phase structure of strongly interacting matter in a wide range of temperature and baryonchemical potential. At small potentials the model…

These lectures introduce some of the basic methods of perturbative QCD and their applications to phenomenology at high energy. Emphasis is given to techniques that are used to study QCD and related field theories to all orders in…

This is the theory summary of Strangeness in Quark Matter 2019 conference. Results include the state-of-the-art updates to the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram with contributions both from heavy-ion collisions and nuclear…

Properties of high-density strong-interaction matter of relevance for astrophysical scenarios that involve neutron stars are discussed. It is argued that theoretical and experimental insights from the small baryo-chemical potential…

Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently, by adapting the techniques of condensed matter theory. At asymptotic densities, the combination of asymptotic freedom and BCS…

The two-flavor color superconductivity is examined over a wide range of baryon density with a single model. To study the structural change of Cooper pairs, quark correlation in the color superconductor is calculated both in the momentum…

For a long time, strong coupling expansions have not been applied systematically in lattice QCD thermodynamics, in view of the succes of numerical Monte Carlo studies. The persistent sign problem at finite baryo-chemical potential, however,…
