The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

The previous treatments for strange quark matter in the quark mass-density-dependent model have unreasonable vacuum limits. We provide a method to obtain the quark mass parametrizations and give a self-consistent thermodynamic treatment which includes the MIT bag model as an extreme. In this treatment, strange quark matter in bulk still has the possibility of absolute stability. However, the lower density behavior of the sound velocity is opposite to previous findings.

The paper

Original abstract

The previous treatments for strange quark matter in the quark mass-density-dependent model have unreasonable vacuum limits. We provide a method to obtain the quark mass parametrizations and give a self-consistent thermodynamic treatment which includes the MIT bag model as an extreme. In this treatment, strange quark matter in bulk still has the possibility of absolute stability. However, the lower density behavior of the sound velocity is opposite to previous findings.

Anisotropic surface tension and stability of quark matter modified by the vector interaction
hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

Vector interactions enlarge anisotropic surface tension of quark matter in magnetic fields, cause transverse tension to rise with B in strong fields, require moderate B for bubble formation, and slightly reduce stability.
A Density Functional for Quark Matter with Screened Confinement Interactions
nucl-th 2026-10 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

The authors derive a coefficient for the known n^(2/3) interaction-energy density functional of quark matter by assuming the confinement screening scale is proportional to the Fermi momentum.

With our recently determined quark mass scaling, we study strange quark matter in this new thermodynamic treatment, which still indicates a possible absolute stability as previously found.
