abstract

As a model for nonideal behavior in the equation of state of QCD at high density, we consider cold quark matter in perturbation theory. To second order in the strong coupling constant, $\alpha_s$, the results depend sensitively on the choice of the renormalization mass scale. Certain choices of this scale correspond to a strongly first order chiral transition, and generate quark stars with maximum masses and radii approximately half that of ordinary neutron stars. At the center of these stars, quarks are essentially massless.

  1. Properties of Stable Massive Quark Stars in Holography

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Holographic model of massive deconfined quarks yields a stiff enough equation of state to allow stable 2-solar-mass hybrid stars with quark cores for certain nuclear phases.

  2. 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.

    gr-qc 2024-12 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    Exact quark star solutions in linear f(Q) gravity with an interacting quark matter equation of state yield 1.8 to 2.1 solar mass stars, but the f(Q) setup is equivalent to general relativity and the observed-radius ma...
