abstract
We present a model of cold QCD matter that bridges nuclear and quark matter through the duality relation between quarks and baryons. The baryon number and energy densities are expressed as functionals of either the baryon momentum distribution, $f_{\rm B}$, or the quark distribution, $f_{\rm Q}$, which are subject to the constraints on fermions, $0 \le f_{\rm B,Q} \le 1$. The theory is ideal in the sense that the confinement of quarks into baryons is reflected in the duality relation between $f_{\rm Q}$ and $f_{\rm B}$, while other possible interactions among quarks and baryons are all neglected. The variational problem with the duality constraints is formulated and we explicitly construct analytic solutions, finding two distinct regimes: A nuclear matter regime at low density and a Quarkyonic regime at high density. In the Quarkyonic regime, baryons underoccupy states at low momenta but form a momentum shell with $f_{\rm B}=1$ on top of a quark Fermi sea. Such a theory describes a rapid transition from a soft nuclear equation of state to a stiff Quarkyonic equation of state. At this transition, there is a rapid increase in the pressure.

In-medium hyperon potentials and the quarkyonic hyperon onset: charged $\Sigma$'s in $\beta$-equilibrium and the neutrino connection
In-medium potentials give the quarkyonic hyperon onset weight-2 leverage on U_Y, ban Σ⁻ in β-equilibrium, keep TOV softening ≲0.025 M_⊙, and leave core strangeness prior-dominated once neutrino FSI pin U_Λ(n0).

Quarkyonic Stars with Strangeness
A three-flavor quarkyonic model with octet baryons yields stiffer neutron-star EOS and raises maximum masses, potentially resolving the hyperon puzzle.

Suppression of dynamical momentum-space shell by chiral symmetry
In a parity doublet model, self-consistent minimization keeps the quark fraction at zero up to about 8n0, showing quark onset and chiral restoration need not coincide.

Two Lectures on the Phase Diagram of QCD
QCD features at least three phases at zero baryon density and three at high density, including a Quarkyonic phase at high density and low temperature, described via large-N_c and a parameter-free 3D string model.
