Scale Invariance and Compact Star Matter
Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng
We present discussions on the possibility of emerging hidden scale symmetry, as a pseudo-conformal phase in super dense baryonic matter, using the velocity of sound as a criterion…
Cusp in the Symmetry Energy, Speed of Sound in Neutron Stars and Emergent Pseudo-Conformal Symmetry
Hyun Kyu Lee, Yong-Liang Ma, Won-Gi Paeng +1
We review how the "cusp" predicted in the nuclear symmetry energy generated by a topology change at density $n_{1/2}\gsim 2 n_0$ can have a surprising consequence, so far unrecogni…
QCD vacuum and baryon masses
Youngman Kim, Igor A. Mazur, Masayasu Harada +1
To study a possible role of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum in nuclear and hadron physics, we evaluate a physical quantity in a candidate of the QCD vacuum. In this study w…
A pseudo-conformal equation of state in compact-star matter from topology change and hidden symmetries of QCD
Yong-Liang Ma, Hyun Kyu Lee, Won-Gi Paeng +1
We construct a new effective field theory approach to the equation of state (EoS), dubbed pseudo-confomal model "PCM," for nuclear and compact star matter entirely in terms of effe…
Scale-Invariant Hidden Local Symmetry, Topology Change and Dense Baryonic Matter II
Won-Gi Paeng, Thomas T. S. Kuo, Hyun Kyu Lee +2
Exploiting certain robust topological inputs from the skyrmion description of compressed baryonic matter with a scale-chiral symmetric Lagrangian, we predict the equation of state…
Instability of strong magnetic field and neutrino magnetic dipole moment
Hyun Kyu Lee
Vacuum instability of the strong electromagnetic field has been discussed since long time ago. The instability of the strong electric field due to creation of electron pairs is one…
