Abstract

The objective of this project to research the role of detailed models for the equation of state of dense and/or hot matter on various phenomena associated with neutron stars and the early universe. In particular, we plan to investigate the structure and evolution of compact stars, compact star's oscillations, and cosmological phase transitions. (AU)
