A hadronic model based on the parity doublet structure is used for hadronic matter and a quark model of Nambu–Jona-Lasinio type is for quark matter. We assume crossover between hadronic matter and quark matter in the color-flavor locked phase. The nucleon mass of the parity doublet model has a mass associated with the chiral symmetry breaking, and a chiral invariant mass m0 which is insensitive to the chiral condensate. The value of m0 affects the nuclear EOSs at low density, and has strong correlations with the radii of neutron stars. Using the constraint to the radius obtained by LIGO-Virgo and NICER, we find that m0 is restricted as 600MeV≲m0≲900MeV.}, title = {Quark-hadron crossover equations of state for neutron stars: Constraining the chiral invariant mass in a parity doublet model}, volume = {103}, year = {2021} }
