Confinement and Chiral Symmetry in a dense Matter

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical possibility of a phase of dense matter that remains confining yet preserves chiral symmetry, challenging traditional views on the relationship between confinement and chiral symmetry breaking.

Contribution

It proposes the existence of a confining but chirally symmetric phase at high baryon densities and low temperatures, offering new insights into QCD phase structure.

Findings

Theoretical discussion of confining but chirally symmetric phase.

Implications for the QCD phase diagram at high density.

Potential impact on understanding dense astrophysical objects.

Abstract

We discuss a possibility for existence of confining but chirally symmetric phase at large baryon densities and low temperatures.
