Current status of theoretical researches on the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special emphasis on the origin of various phases and their symmetry breaking patterns. Topics include; quark deconfinement, chiral symmetry restoration, order of the phase transitions, QCD critical point(s), colour superconductivity, various inhomogeneous states and implications from QCD-like theories.

  1. Diquark Correlators and Phase Structure in the Quark-Meson-Diquark Model beyond Mean Field

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Including mesonic fluctuations beyond mean field substantially modifies the phase structure of the quark-meson-diquark model, with diquark condensation dominating for strong couplings as analyzed via diquark pole mass...

  2. Gradient-Produced Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Steep matter-density gradients in neutron stars can produce neutrino-antineutrino pairs analogous to the Schwinger effect.

  3. Chiral first order phase transition at finite baryon density and zero temperature from self-consistent pole masses in the linear sigma model with quarks

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the two-flavor linear sigma model with quarks, the chiral phase transition at T=0 is first order and occurs at a quark chemical potential equal to the vacuum quark mass.

  4. QCD phase transition at finite isospin density and magnetic field

    nucl-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the NJL model, increasing isospin chemical potential favors pion superfluidity at small magnetic fields and rho superconductivity at large magnetic fields.

  5. Nuclear matter properties and neutron star structures from an extended linear sigma model

    nucl-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    An extended linear sigma model with delta meson and negative sigma_piN produces a symmetry-energy plateau and stiffer EOS that satisfies neutron-star and nuclear constraints.
