Over the course of this project, the Special Issue benefited from contributions on other related subjects, such as the topology of baryon-rich matter or a model of the axionic dark matter
The review [2] by Maria Paola Lombardo is devoted to the subject of topology in dense matter
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The key topics covered by this review include the order parameters for confinement, magnetic order/disorder phase transition, the center-vortex and the monopole models of the Yang–Mills vacuum, as well as realizations of confinement in the gauge-Higgs and Yang–Mills theories, and the phases of QCD matter. Above the critical temperature for superfluidity/superconductivity, the topological susceptibility, as a function of either the isospin or the baryonic chemical potential, turned out to be clearly correlated with the chiral condensate and the confinement-related quantities.
