We show that flavor diagonal and off-diagonal susceptibilities of light quarks at vanishing chemical potential can be calculated consistently assuming the baryon density and isospin density dependence of QCD to be expressed by a vector-isoscalar and a vector-isovector coupling, respectively. At the mean field level, their expression depends only on the effective medium-dependent couplings and quark thermodynamic potential. The strength of the couplings can be then estimated from the model using lattice QCD data as an input.

The Boltzmann equation is the traditional framework in which one extends the time-dependent mean field classical description of a many-body system to include the effect of particle-particle collisions in an approximate manner. A semiclassical extension of this approach to quantum many-body systems was suggested by Uehling and Uhlenbeck in 1933 for both Fermi and Bose statistics, and many further generalization of this approach are known as the Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) equations. Here I suggest a pure quantum version of the BUU type of equations, which is mathematically equivalent to a generalized Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory extended to superfluid systems.

Fusion barriers are determined in the framework of the Skyrme energy-density functional together with the semi-classical approach known as the Extended Thomas-Fermi method. The barriers obtained in this way with the Skyrme interaction SkM* turn out to be close to those generated by phenomenological models like those using the proximity potentials. It is also shown that the location and the structure of the fusion barrier in the vicinity of its maximum and beyond can be quite accurately described by a simple analytical form depending only on the masses and the relative isospin of target and projectile nucleus.
The effect of the vector interaction on three flavor magnetized matter is studied within the SU(3) Nambu--Jona-Lasiono quark model. We have considered cold matter under a static external magnetic field within two different models for the vector interaction in order to investigate how the form of the vector interaction and the intensity of the magnetic field affect the equation of state as well as the strangeness content. It was shown that the flavor independent vector interaction predicts a smaller strangeness content and, therefore, harder equations of state. On the other hand, the flavor dependent vector interaction favors larger strangeness content the larger the vector coupling. We have confirmed that at low densities the magnetic field and the vector interaction have opposite competing effects: the first one softens the equation of state while the second hardens it. Quark stars and hybrid stars subject to an external magnetic field were also studied. Larger star masses are obtained for the flavor independent vector interaction. Hybrid stars may bare a core containing deconfined quarks if neither the vector interaction nor the magnetic field are too strong. Also, the presence of strong magnetic fields seems to disfavor the existence of a quark core in hybrid stars.

We develop both relativistic mean field and beyond approaches for hypernuclei with possible quadrupole-octupole deformation or pear-like shapes based on relativistic point-coupling energy density functionals. The symmetries broken in the mean-field states are recovered with parity, particle-number, and angular momentum projections. We take $^{21}_Lambda$Ne as an example to illustrate the method, where the $Lambda$ hyperon is put on one of the two lowest-energy orbits (labeled as $Lambda_s, Lambda_p$), respectively. We find that the $Lambda$ hyperon in both cases disfavors the formation of a reflection-asymmetric molecular-like $^{16}$O$+alpha$ structure in $^{20}$Ne, which is consistent with the Nilsson diagram for the hyperon in $(beta_2, beta_3)$ deformation plane. In particular, we show that the negative-parity states with the configuration $^{20}$Ne($K^pi=0^-)otimes Lambda_s$ are close in energy to those with the configuration $^{20}$Ne($K^pi=0^+)otimes Lambda_p$, even though they have very different structures. The $Lambda_s$ ($Lambda_p$) becomes more and more concentrated around the bottom (top) of the pear with the increase of octupole deformation.
This research article is a follow up of earlier work by M. Ikram et al., reported in International Journal of Modern Physics E {bf{25}}, 1650103 (2016) wherein we searched for $Lambda$ magic numbers in experimentally confirmed doubly magic nucleonic cores in light to heavy mass region (ie.$^{16}O - ^{208}Pb$) by injecting $Lambda$s into them. In present manuscript, working within the state-of-art relativistic mean field theory with inclusion of $Lambda N$ and $LambdaLambda$ interaction in hypernuclei using the predicted doubly magic nucleonic cores ie. $^{292}$120, $^{304}$120, $^{360}$132, $^{370}$132, $^{336}$138, $^{396}$138 of elusive superheavy mass regime. In analogy to well established signatures of magicity in conventional nuclear theory, the prediction of hypernuclear magicity are made on the basis of one-, two-$Lambda$ separation energy ($S_Lambda, S_{2Lambda}$) and two lambda shell gaps ($delta_{2Lambda}$) in multi-$Lambda$ hypernuclei. The calculations suggest that the $Lambda$ numbers 92, 106, 126, 138, 184, 198, 240, and 258 might be the $Lambda$ shell closures after introducing the $Lambda$s in elusive superheavy nucleonic cores. Moreover, in support of $Lambda$ shell closure the investigation of $Lambda$ pairing energy and effective $Lambda$ pairing gap has also been made. The appearance of new lambda shell closures other than the nucleonic ones predicted by various relativistic and non-relativistic theoretical investigations can be attributed to the relatively weak strength of spin-orbit coupling in hypernuclei compared to normal nuclei.
