PY 2018 BP 367 EP 370 VL 15 IS 4 DI 10.1134/S1547477118040222 LA English DE quark; pion; skyrmion; dilation AB The phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics is conjectured to have a rich structure containing at least three forms of matter: hadronic nuclear matter, quarkyonic matter and quark gluon plasma. We describe its formulation in terms of Skyrme crystals and justify the origin of the quarkyonic phase transition in a chiral-quark model. ER
