QCD-Like Theories with Different Color Numbers
Toru Kojo
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…

Stiffening of matter in quark-hadron continuity: a mini-review
Toru Kojo
Recent observations of neutron stars, combined with causality, thermodynamic stability, and nuclear constraints, indicate a rapid stiffening of QCD matter at densities slightly abo…

Evolution of strangeness and hyperons in quarkyonic matter
Yuki Fujimoto, Toru Kojo, Larry McLerran
We study the evolution of matter composition from nuclear to quark densities in the confining regime, by extending an ideal model of Quarkyonic matter, IdylliQ model, to multi-flav…
