The scenario, due to Rajagopal and Shuster, that no phase transition separates hadronic matter from color-superconducting quark matter (especially the CFL phase) because their unbroken symmetry groups and excitation spectra can match continuously. Claims about whether continuity holds, its model dependence, alternatives (mixed phase, sharp transition), and astrophysical consequences belong here.

The quark-hadron phase transition at high baryon density is first order

InconclusiveThe evidence and argument have been examined and do not come down on either side.constitution →empirical · derivedA factual claim that rests on inference from other evidence rather than direct observation.constitution →QCD phase diagram Dense Quark Matterimportance · notableImportance 0.60, from 0 to 1 · notable: a contested point in a live debate (also the default before judging).

Color-flavor-locked quark matter and hadronic matter share the same symmetry-breaking pattern, permitting quark-hadron continuity

Low-energy excitations of color-flavor-locked quark matter map one-to-one onto those of hyperonic hadronic matter
