A quark-diquark model for parity doublet structure of baryons

Bikai Gao, Masayasu Harada

The chiral invariant mass of baryons is a phenomenological input of parity doublet models, and its microscopic origin remains an open question. We propose that the chiral invariant…

Chiral symmetry restoration and hyperon suppression in neutron stars

Bikai Gao

The ``hyperon puzzle'' remains a fundamental challenge in nuclear astrophysics. We investigate hyperon emergence in neutron star matter using the parity doublet model with…

Linear realization of SU(3) parity doublet model for octet baryons with bad diquark

Bikai Gao, Atsushi Hosaka

We construct a linear parity doublet model for octet baryons. Our model employs the and chiral representations…

Constraining the competition between the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions in light of the multimessenger era

Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan +2

We extend the parity doublet model for hadronic matter and study the possible presence of quark matter inside the cores of neutron stars with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Co…

Hybrid stars with large quark cores within the parity doublet model and modified NJL model

Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan +1

Using the parity doublet model (PDM) for hadronic matter and a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for quark matter, we investigate the potential existence of two- and three-fl…

Origin of nucleon mass in the light of PSR J0614-3329 with quark-hadron crossover

Bikai Gao, Yuk-Kei Kong, Yong-Liang Ma

The recent NICER observation of PSR J0614-3329, revealing the smallest reliably measured neutron star radius of km at mass $M = 1.44^{+0.06}_{-0.07} M_\…
