High-order perturbative calculations for thermodynamic quantities in QCD are complicated by the physics of dynamical screening that affects the soft, long-wavelength modes of the system. Here, we provide details for the evaluation of this soft contribution to the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO) pressure of high-density, zero-temperature quark matter (QM), complementing our accompanying paper in arXiv:2103.05658. Our calculation requires the determination of the pressure of the hard-thermal-loop (HTL) effective theory to full two-loop order at zero temperature, which we go through in considerable detail. In addition to this, we comprehensively discuss the structure of the weak-coupling expansion of the QM pressure, and lay out a roadmap towards the evaluation of the contributions missing from a full N3LO result for this quantity.

    A Bayesian analysis of smooth hadron-quark crossover neutron stars using NICER and GW170817 data favors a broad, high-density mixed transition, disfavors pure quark cores, and makes a neutron-star interpretation of GW...

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the lowest Landau level, one-loop HDLpt pressure of cold quark matter grows with quark and isospin chemical potentials, and the magnetization is positive, making transverse pressure smaller than longitudinal.
