Description
The lectures will detail the high-density cold quark-matter equation
of state (EoS) as described by perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD), and
how this can constrain the Neutron Star EoS at lower densities. Topics covered
will include: (i) framework of relativistic thermal and high-density
perturbation theory, (ii) infrared problems in thermal field theory and their
resolution for the EoS, (iii) the general structure of the pQCD EoS and (iv)
current status of theoretical calculations.
