We show that the cusp-like structure in the nuclear symmetry energy, a consequence of topology change, visible in the skyrmion lattice description of dense matter is extremely robust. It is present in the Skyrme model -- with the pion field only -- and is left unscathed by massive degrees of freedom such as the vector mesons $\rho$ and $\omega$ and also the scalar meson introduced as a dilaton. It leads to the emergence of parity-doubling at the skyrmion-half-skyrmion transition and impacts on…

We clarify and extend further the idea developed in [1, 2] that baryonic matter at high density has an emergent “pseudo-conformal symmetry.” It is argued that as baryonic density exceeds n ≃ n1/2 ∼

Drawing from certain analogies to highly correlated condensed matter, I sketch an admittedly speculative scenario on how baryonic matter could turn into a Fermi liquid of fractionalized baryons
I discuss a novel scenario on how baryonic matter could turn into a Fermi liquid of fractionalized baryons driven by high density inside compact stars. It involves the “hidden” local vector bosons ρ
