The axion potential in quark matter

We study the QCD axion potential in hot and dense quark matter, within an NJL-like model that includes the coupling of the axion to quarks. Firstly we compute the effect of the chiral QCD crossover on the axion mass and self-coupling. Then, we compute the axion potential and study the domain walls....
