RMF-CC models with ωρ coupling better match multi-messenger NS data and LQCD/NEP constraints than the baseline, yet standard RMF remains preferred without core phase transitions, requiring high Ksat ~300 MeV.

abstract
We present a theoretical framework allowing to make an explicit connection between the phenomenology of QCD, namely the properties of the gluon correlator and Wilson loops, and a particular relativistic model for the description of nuclear matter and neutron stars, the chiral confining model. Starting with the Field Correlator Method, which incorporates explicitly and simultaneously confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, we describe how to obtain the response of the composite nucleon to the nuclear scalar field, the relative role of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in the in-medium nucleon mass evolution, generating the three-body forces needed for the saturation mechanism.

In the chiral confining model, in-medium nucleon mass evolution driven by scalar-field response and separation of confinement versus chiral effects governs repulsive three-body forces for saturation, alongside changes to internal energy and pressure distributions.
Formal derivation of nucleon mass, pressure, and density distributions in the chiral confining model via the von Laue stability condition applied to localized or momentum-projected trial states.
