Ruggieri<br/>We investigate the three flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model of neutral quark matter at zero temperature and finite density, taking into account the scalar, the pseudoscalar, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa-’t Hooft interactions as well as the repulsive vector plus axial-vector interaction terms (vector ...<br/>[Phys.
