Skyrmions and Fractional Quantum Hall Droplets Unified by Hidden Symmetries in Dense Matter
Mannque Rho
A chain of connections in compressed baryonic matter, up-to-date glaringly missing in nuclear effective field theory, between intrinsic or emergent symmetries of QCD, mesons-gluons…
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…
The sound speed and core of massive compact stars: A manifestation of hadron-quark duality
Yong-Liang Ma, Mannque Rho
When baryon-quark continuity is formulated in terms of a topology change without invoking "explicit " QCD degrees of freedom at a density higher than twice the nuclear matter densi…
The "Folk Theorem" on Effective Field Theory: A Case for Nuclear Physics
Mannque Rho
Although largely unrecognized, Gerry Brown had played a seminal and prescient role for the development of the currently heralded "first-principles approach" to nuclear dynamics kno…
Mapping topology to nuclear dilaton-HLS effective field theory for dense baryonic matter
Yong-Liang Ma, Mannque Rho
We describe the on-going effort to formulate the baryon-quark continuity in terms of a topology change in the equation of state (EoS) of dense baryonic matter in analogy to -- and…
Topology change, emergent symmetries and compact star matter
Yong-Liang Ma, Mannque Rho
Topology effects have being extensively studied and confirmed in strongly correlated condensed matter physics. In the large color number limit of QCD, baryons can be regarded as to…
