Description
There has been quite some activity in finding methods to evaluate cold+dense vacuum integrals that emerge in perturbative treatments of dense (but deconfined) quark matter, conjectured to play a role in neutron star cores and hence potentially relevant to the gravitational-wave physics of colliding compact stars.
The purpose of this rather technical talk is to report on progress about bringing some order into these methods, by exploiting IBP methods at strictly zero temperature, and leveraging an integrand canonicalization algorithm that had already been successfully applied in the hot QCD case.
