We demonstrate that quark matter in the color-flavor locked phase of QCD is rigorously electrically neutral, despite the unequal quark masses, and even in the presence of an electron chemical potential. As long as the strange quark mass and the electron chemical potential do not preclude the color-flavor locked phase, quark matter is automatically neutral. No electrons are required and none are admitted.

  1. Classification of color superconductivity by one-gluon exchange helicity amplitudes and renormalization group equations

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In dense QCD, the most attractive quark pairing channel is classified by helicity amplitudes and renormalization group equations, with a new p-wave (1P1) channel favored for symmetric flavor and attraction found in th...

  2. Renormalizing the Quark-Meson-Diquark Model

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Renormalized and two RG-consistent versions of the Quark-Meson-Diquark model reproduce the BCS relation and Stefan-Boltzmann limit at high density, while the sigma-delta scheme violates the BCS relation.

  3. Quark Stars in Ricci-Determinant Gravity with an Interacting Quark Equation of State

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Quark stars in Ricci-Determinant gravity with interacting quark EoS exhibit lower compactness than in GR and become unstable at high central densities when perturbative gravity terms exceed about half the GR contribution.

  4. Radial oscillations of quark stars in light of current astrophysical constraints: A comparative study

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Comparative numerical study of radial modes in strange quark stars using CFL, interacting, and linear causal EOS shows all satisfy current mass-radius bounds and produce 4-7 kHz fundamental frequencies.
